    Default Cookies

    I know how to clear my cookies, but is there a way, when in your cookie folder, you can elect to highlight and keep the one's you want, but delete the rest.

    In other words, rather than just scroll down them, deleting one by one, or the whole lot, are there other ways as well.

    Naturally there are some I always want to keep, without going through all my passwords etc, when back on those sites, and my logons all need refreshing.

    Hope this makes sense?

    Thanks

    edit

    Also, where is the actual cookie file in FF.
    I know where to delete them in Tools, but where are they stored?
    I was thinking I could keep the one's I want in a desktop folder, do a normal "delete all cookies", and then transfer the former kept cookies back into that folder

    Hold CTRL and left click on the ones you want to keep, once you've chosen them all, go to "Edit" then "Invert Selection" then right click, delete.

    I don't think you can edit the cookies in Firefox from Explorer like you can for IE. In Firefox go to "Tools", "Options", "Privacy", "Show Cookies" to remove.

    Take a look at this add-on, should do what you want: or

    i found a way
    run ccleaner, then open the firefox-cookies page, sort by letter, eg A 1st
    go control A (select all) then ctrl\ click the keepers, austech.info example
    then hit clean

    Firefox stores them in a file called cookies.sqlite inside your profile folder. For more details of how to find the profile folder see
