    I don't know if that info helps
    Hey Dantl7, I have your solution. While having Firefox open, click on 'Tools' + 'Options' and press the 'Privacy' tab. Make sure that the 'unless I have removed cookies set by the site' box checked. You then want to depress the 'View Cookies' button, select each unwanted cookie one at a time and select 'remove cookie' after each selection, after removing the above bastards... Firefox will not allow them back onto your system! Woot!

    This will be a two or three day screening process because you will want to check on your cookie situation often so to basically 'train' Firefox into learning what you want and what you do not want. I would say... "I hope this helps" but I know it will so, Good luck!
