Dammit...where does Mozilla hide its cookies at?

[J3anyus]

I run Mozilla 1.0 as my main browser, and need to delete a few of my cookies, but I can't figure out where it keeps the cookies stored at. I checked all the subdirectories of my installation directory and couldn't find anything, and checked the standard directory that IE stores cookies, and it doesn't seem to be getting cookies from there either. So, any ideas? I need to dump some cookies to force this site to log me out. Thanks.

Well I run the linux source, it might be dif; but you can go to preferences, privacy/security, cookies, manage stored cookies.

If it's like NS, do a search for COOKIES.TXT. In NS 6.23, it's burried pretty deep. My path:

C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\ [User Name] \ [random text string].slt

My favorite trick is to make COOKIES.TXT a zero byte, read only file. I set the browser to accept all cookies, but nothing ever gets written to it.

On Windows 1.1 version just go to Tools -> Cookie Manager -> Manage Stored Cookies

This is probably the same on 1.0 but I can't remember - its been a long time since I ran that branch

Yeah, the Cookie Manager worked. Thanks.
