New description:

 Right now, we've set Tor Browser to block third party cookies. This will
 probably break some sites. There is a less intrusive option described at
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thirdparty that we should use.

 '''Rebase''' and test existing patches (originating from
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565965)

 '''Revise requirements''' according to preliminary tests and devise a
 broad test plan.

 '''Reimplement and retest''' to guarantee proper isolation without
 severely impeding cookie dependent applications.

 '''Document''' the implementation and optionally a contrast of browser
 cookie handling.

 Pave the way towards a '''improved privacy panel''' including a new cookie
 inspector and API supporting such UI.

 '''Note:''' This is a metaticket composed of work items in child tickets.
