#22711: Cookie protections dialog cannot delete cookies after upgrade
------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: CIA_jews_negro | Owner: tbb-team
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Immediate | Milestone:
Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version:
Severity: Critical | Keywords: cookies, cookie
Actual Points: | Parent ID:

------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Cookie protections dialog cannot delete cookies after I upgraded
TorBrowser and restarted it.
1. Had TorBrowser 6.5.x (running)
2. Updated to 7.0.1
3. Killed TorBrowser process
4. Started TorBrowser (7.0.1)
5. Tabs got recovered (NOTE: for some reason didn't show me tab recovery
dialog)
6. Now when I use Cookie protections dialog, I click to delete cookies,
but when I click OK and close dialog, all cookies are still there!!! I
reopen Cookie protections dialog and they are still in. They aren't
protected but behave like they were.
7. When I open Tools->Options->Privacy->cookies, I can properly delete
cookies from there.
I haven't restart browser yet so don't know if it happens after restart.
It's critical privacy bug. You think you deleted cookies so you reload
page with new circuit, but in fact, you are using your old cookies and
they will know it's same person. They will link your two accounts.
Also, when I click to protect or unprotect cookie in the dialog, and click
OK, it gets saved. When I reopen dialog I see that it's saved what I
protected. But cannot delete cookies.
