Here are a couple of links to some cookie extensions; however, I don't know if they
will do what you desire:
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=Solaris&category=Privacy%20and%20Security&numpg=10&id=82
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=Solaris&category=Privacy%20and%20Security&numpg=10&id=315


You can also search other extensions here:
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}

I always reject cookies first, then if I find I *need* them, I remove the stored
policy for the domain. (Edit - Preferences - Privacy - Cookies - Exceptions).
