Firefox 2.0 and mp3tunes: Help me glue my cookie back together

So, I have installed the spankin' new FF 2.0 and visited my account on mp3tunes.com. All was was well, easy login as usual, flawless. Being overly curious, I removed mp3tunes from my allowed exceptions permissions (tools -> options -> privacy -> exceptions) to make sure the feature was still working under the new release. Well, now I cannot access mp3tunes and cannot reset the cookie.

See here for the original method in FF 1.5 - This eliminates the need to login to a site after exiting the browser

FF is acting as though mp3tunes is a blocked site but it is not listed as such in the exceptions and will not 'stick' in my list of allowed sites. I cannot log in w/out using the 'open in ie tab' option - I only go through the login loop. I haven't tried any other allowed sites in fear of this happening again.

Also relevant: I have yet to find a cookie management extension that will wake up my furry orange friend

Please help a desperate no-ie-likin' music fan!

bonus question: any forum out there for mp3tunes aside from the Linspire community?

Something's odd in exceptions on cookies, I had a similar problem.

Try adding the site as an explicit allow. That fixed it for me.

You have found out the FF 2 is broken - from Slashdot the details.
