#10353: Cookie Protection dialog is empty in FF24

-------------------------------------+---------------------
The nsCookieService does not seem to expose the Private Browsing Mode
cookie database to extensions in any substantial way. Unless I missed
something, there does not appear to be a way to enumerate these cookies
directly. This means that the Cookie Protections Dialog (and Firefox's own
Cookie Dialog) are always empty in the default TBB configuration, unless
the user selects to enable history.
We should either create APIs to export and manipulate the private cookie
store, or alter the cookie protections dialog to inform the user that
cookie protection and manipulation is only available if they are storing
disk activity.
