One of the features I will not do without, is the ability for my customers to DISABLE THIRD PARTY COOKIES. I disable third party cookies on every desktop I touch, including IE. I know there is a "klunky" work-around, but that is not practical for my customers. Disabling cookies altogether is a great idea for those of us here, we can deal with allow lists or bothering to turn it on and off as needed, but it is not practical for regular users.
I am immediately changing to Sea Monkey and abandoning Firefox. It is hard to understand why Mozilla.org would effect such a change. Regardless of what is said, none of my customers have experienced any trouble without third party cookies.
You have a few options. If you're in charge of installing software on 100's of machines, the easiest thing to do is to create a user.js file and place it in their profile directory. Include this line in that file:
user_pref("network.cookie.cookieBehavior", 1);
"One caution with using user.js: prefs set to non-default values in user.js are also written to prefs.js, so removing or commenting out pref settings in user.js doesn't necessarily cause Mozilla to stop using your previous pref setting. If you change user.js and aren't getting the results you expect, be sure to check prefs.js to make sure it isn't setting a conflicting value."

Another option is to use the Client Customization Kit (CCK) Wizard:
