Was looking at some holiday sites yesterday and bookmarked a few pages. Tried to return to those pages today. They didn't open and instead I and got the message shown below.

Problem is that the instructions they give for Firefox bear no resemblance to the options in the Firefox Tools Options regarding cookies.

Can anyone advise what to do?
Otherwise it'll probably take me hours to manually search for the pages I bookmarked

Certain firewalls such as Zone Alarm Pro also stop some of these cookies
