Hello

Please advise:

1) Where are cookies stored (directory) on Firefox mobile (android)?

2) can they be copied, or inspected?

I would like to be able to see what is being stored.

Thank you for reading and if you can help.

Chosen Solution

cookies.sqlite in /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/xxxxxxxx.default/

As a user it would be difficult to access the file without root.

I had found the location of cookies.sqlite as referenced by kbrosnan. Using an an android app that allowed viewing and editing of sqlite tables etc (there are several on the play store), I was able to do as I required. Root access is required however.

It would be nice if searching and viewing cookies could be built in (add-on probably wouldn't have root access) and without requiring root.

Thank you for the replies and interest.
