For forums and such, you need to set the cookies preference for this site as "permanent".

If you really feel insecure by having too many unwanted cookies, what you can do is:

Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cookies

And check (tick) on "Enable Cookies", then select the bullet for "Ask for each cookie".

Exit Firefox and try again. When the browser ask for the permission to store cookies from IW, select "Allow". DO NOT select "Allow for Session only" or you will have to clear out the old entries by removing IW's domain from the "Exception..." menu.

If the above trick still does not work, that means like Firefox as been instructed not to store cookies from Ironworks. What you need to do is to go into the "Exception..." menu and remove Ironwork from the list and then repeat the above step.

OR... sometimes the stored cookies get corrupted. In this case, you need to go to the "stored cookies" menu and delete all cookies from Ironworks. Then restart Firefox and try again. This happened to me once with Firebird 0.6 (I think)
