[FF 3.6.10] I can read and delete cookies in safe mode, but in full mode the cookies list appears only as the little triangular icons; If I click on any one these I see the cookies for that site. But why am I not able to see the site name in full mode? This behavior startwed tonight, just after I'd registered a password with a new sit4e that I was visiting. thx eda

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Thanks, but that didn't work. With extensions & plugins disabled, cookies still weren't visible in the full-mode cookie window, but were still there in safe mode. (the RealJukeBox & RealPlayer Version plugins wouldn't stay disabled between sessions & anoyingly I can't uninstall them from the plugin page, but these weren't the problem.

The cookie names showed up again after I cleared the recent history. Maybe the problem was due to the active login of the site from which I allowed the cookie before the problem appeared. I've gone back and re-taken the cookie, and everything seems fine now.
