Bad idea: Firefox Will Soon Block Third-Party Cookies

http://j.mp/YM28Jh  (Slashdot)

      that will block third-party cookies by default. It's now on track to

No meaningful privacy enhancements will be provided to users by this
change, but contrary to what Mozilla is saying, it *will* break many
standard functions of many standard Web sites.  Another "politically
correct" step by Mozilla that actually makes users' lives more
difficult.
