Hmm... that looks like an interesting. [click link] Oh, it wants a cookie. Sure, whatever. [click accept for session, with ticky box ticked] Another cookie, mutter, OK. [click same] Another one?! Arg! I don't even care about this page. [clicky, clicky, clicky, clicky] ARG! JUST STOP COMING UP LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO CLOSE THE TAB! DIE! [clicky, clicky, clicky, clicky, clickty, clickity, clikity click] Gah. Finally. [reads mediocre article, closes tab, salts earth, vows never to come back].
I assume I'm not the only one this happens to. It's hardly fair to the poor website, which presumably doesn't deserve this much rage. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a fix for this?
In general, when I'm browsing, I leave the ticky box saying do this all the time ticked, and I'm usually accepting cookies for the session to avoid having to go back and un-blacklist things that turn out not to work w/o cookies while not just accepting them constantly. What I'd ideally like is a way to get Firefox to give focus back to the tab so I can close it (or even just read other tabs, rather than watching the clicky box). Is there a setting or plug-in that helps? I generally like Firefox, but if other browsers are better, do let me know. Alternately if there's a good reason to always accept/reject, I think there's already a way to do it automatically, but it seems like it might be a nuisance just as often.
