Firefox Will Soon Block Third-Party Cookies

[wraggster]

Stanford researcher Jonathan Mayer (https://www.stanford.edu/~jmayer/) has contributed a Firefox patch (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=818340) that will block third-party cookies by default (http://webpolicy.org/2013/02/22/the-new-firefox-cookie-policy/). It's now on track to land in version 22. Kudos to Mozilla for protecting their users and being so open to community submissions. The initial response (https://twitter.com/mikezaneis/status/305320662426324992) from the online advertising industry is unsurprisingly hostile and blustering, calling the move 'a nuclear first strike.'"
