Whiteboard

From a user comment:
"Although non-protected cookies may be deleted on-demand and upon Firefox's exit, an enhancement of this would be to force non-protected cookies to be culled after either one of two events has occurred:
a) a predetermined configurable time has elapsed after a cookie's last access time
b) when the cookies are no longer used by currently open tabs"

For the 'b' proposition, we will need to know the cookies of the current tab, this will be implemented for the blueprint "current-tab-permissions" (this is the dependancy reason).

(?)
