In Firefox, I have several windows open, each with many tabs. (And BTW, I love the Firefox tab-organization feature.) I would like to empty the cache and delete all cookies. Will that close the open tabs? Is there a way to delete the cookies, empty the cache and preserve all windows & tabs? 

      Thank you!

Hi,

Clearing cookies and cache should not close any of your tabs. However, be aware that doing this will log you out of all your accounts. See these articles for instructions:

Denys, many thanks for your reply and the articles. They were very helpful and I deleted cookies & cache items with no issues. I knew going in that I'd have to log-in anew to the websites I visit, but that's a small bother. Your advice is much appreciated.
