simple question. firefox 4.0.1 on windows xp, sp3. i am having problems deleting some cookies using firefox's "tools -> options -> show cookies". i would rather know where they are stored so i can delete them manually.

cookies.sqlite in your Profile folder, but it's not a file that can be "read" as such.

About all you can do with it is to delete the entire file, without using an SQLite Manager extension or program. If you do delete that file Firefox will create a new, empty file the next time you start Firefox.

Go to your profile folder. [Folder] .

Search for the file "cookies.sqlite" and delete it.
