Both IE and Firefox allow you to block third-party cookies. In Firefox the option this option is under Privacy tab in Options dialog.
IE browser allows users to set up an exceptions. For example I can block all third-party cookies except for www.mysite.com.
Is there a way to create the same exception in Firefox?

I installed CookieSafe but unfortunately it didn't give me control of third-party cookies I'd like to have. Thanks you for this idea it definitely was worth to try. – Vadim – 2009-09-12T21:16:36.873
@Vadim, did you notice that you can click-right and also left-click on the icon, giving different menus? It would surprise me to find that there's anything at all that CookieSafe can't do ... – harrymc – 2009-09-13T07:21:01.520

You can put your site under the Exception button and it should work. I have done a similar thing and it's working for me.

This works without installing anything. Not to mention that the extension mentioned above is still not available for FF4 – yhager – 2011-03-18T16:42:38.350
Nowadays you can just use the built-in controls to block all third party cookies, but allow some under Privacy -> History/Cookies -> Exceptions. – Timm – 2013-04-04T13:16:54.827
In later versions of Firefox first select option "Use custom settings for history" in the dropdown for "Firefox will:" to be able to set third-party cookies options. – Peter Mortensen – 2010-10-27T12:02:02.777
