Unfortunately this breaks my usage pattern: I don't keep bazillions of
tabs of sites I'm logged into, instead I reopen them as I revisit them
during the day. I want these revisits to be password-free so I want to
keep the cookie until I close iceweasel (i.e. the close of the day), but
then I want to delete them.

The feature that was literally called "keep cookies until I close
iceweasel" (and still is, except that it doesn't work) was perfect. Why
is it getting slowly dropped? I don't know, but I'm guessing partly
because everyone uses bazillions of tabs :-(
