Firefox rolls out Total Cookie Protection by default to all users

Internet explorer used to ask the user before saving cookies.

And the server had to declare what cookies would be used for in machine readable form (P3P) which the browser used to decide if it want to allow the cookie (google blatantly lied)

And more recently DNT.

A graveyard of failed attempts at improving privacy

FIrefox used to ask, then it would ask if you set the right preference, and then it stopped asking entirely. I was very disappointed in them.

Why was it disappointing in them? Don't they need to compete with Chrome and Safari's UX, that just allow those cookies?

That's no reason to remove the preference that allowed people to re-enable the dialog box.
