Hello, I'm working on a project to extract the cookies from firefox. I can successfully extract the cookies from cookies.sqlite. Nevertheless only permanent cookies (the ones with expiry date) seem to appear there. If I do a: Select * from moz_cookies where expiry==""; nothing seems to show up.

-> If I have a look at the cookies trough firefox via Preferences -> Privacy -> "remove individual cookies" I can also see the session cookies. Therefore I want to know where these session cookies are stored in firefox (in which file) in ordert to extract them.

thx in advance

PS: I'm using firefox 23.0 UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0

Session cookies are kept in memory during the current session and do not need to be stored on disk in cookies.sqlite because they expire automatically. So you can't get them from places.sqlite, but only via the cookie API calls.
