I already have them enabled in the firefox options.

Go to Tools > Options > Privacy tab and put a checkmark in the 'Clear history when Firefox closes' box, then click the Settings button and remove the checkmark from the Cookies box. This will prevent your stored cookies from being deleted every time you close down and restart Firefox.

Open the google page, then go to Tools > Page Info and click the Permissions tab. Change the Set Cookies option to Allow.
