[nfbcs] Slightly OT Where Does Firefox Store Cookies

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Nicole,
Firefox stores cookies under it's profile directory. Unfortunately, it 
doesn't do this like IE; the cookies are not individual files under a 
directory and so cannot simply be deleted. Rather, the cookies are 
stored in a database. Fortunately, Firefox has some options that you can 
use for clearing them. Here are your choices.

1. Modify your program to clear cookies from the the database. This is 
an option, but you'd have to learn the database schema and then write 
the code to modify the db.
2. Customize settings in firefox. One choice you have is to clear 
cookies when firefox exits; I can provide info on how to do that if you 
want. Otherwise, you can clear them manually, per-site or in full.
3. Enable the in-private browsing feature in firefox. That will 
implicitly result in all cookies being cleared, among other things. I 
don't know that i recommend that option because it will also result in 
your cache being disabled and no history being available.
