 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.
