FWIW I use:
- Accept all cookies. There are various sites that insist on setting
  cookies
- Always clear private data when closing firefox: I have set this up to
  delete all cookies, clear cache etc
- Link this with the "better privacy" add-on that deletes flash cookies
  on close-down

If there are passwords that I can not be bothered to re-enter each time
then I save them and do not delete "saved passwords" in the settings for
clear private data
