With FF 1.5, there was a setting in the Privacy tab/Cookies heading
that let you accept cookies from the original site only. Selecting that
option really kept out tracking cookies. At least it did on my PC.
However, I don't see this option with FF 2.0, or else it has been re-worded.
How do I similarly configure FF 2.0?

I don't know why they hid the pref, but you can fix it in about:config
Filter for:
network.cookie.cookieBehavior
Set the value to 1.

Thanks for the info. An interesting extension. Just installed it,
and enabled the setting to accept cookies from original site only. If
Spybot fails to find any Firefox tracking cookies in the future, I'll know
it worked.
