Self Destructing Cookies, here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destr...

does a thing that comes close to doing what you want and might make your 
life a bit easier in the process. Rather than denying all cookies, it 
promptly removes cookies that aren't being used by open browser tabs and 
removes tracking cookies immediately. A few moments after you've closed 
all the tabs with some site open, it removes the cookies for that site.

NoScript should cover the JS side of things for you, and it's here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/?...

Both of those have whitelists, if you want to allow some sites. The 
combination of this, using the built-in password manager and setting 
your Firefox preferences to accept cookies only until you close the 
browser, that should get you where you'd like to be as far as tracking 
cookies are concerned, while making it a bit less tedious to stay logged 
into places or buy stuff if you're so inclined.
