Bug#815033: icewease: Cookie confirmation dialog removed in upstream Firefox 44.0

[Mart Rootamm]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 44.0+

That version has cookie confirmation dialogs removed, cookie settings
are then changed to default to 'Accept', and fine-grained cookie
permissions that were previously set, are gone, resulting in data loss
after upgrading. This reduces user privacy.

Relevant upstream bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606655
Data loss reported at comment #44 there, and further comments are restricted.

Upstream discussion moved here:
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/firefox-dev/2016-February/thread.html#3890

Ditto with upstream SeaMonkey:

Users can currently use Firefox up to 43.0.4 and 38.6.x ESR, and block
future upgrades. Though, in time, these browser versions will have
become outdated for the modern web of the future.

I'm afraid Firefox 45 ESR, to be released in early March 2016, won't
have the cookie confirmation dialogs either.

Upstream does not seem to be very interested in returning the cookie
confirmation dialogs, although I'd like them in future releases of
both GNU IceCat, Debian Iceweasel, and another browser based on
Firefox.
