older versions gave a list of cookies on computer so I could choose ones I wanted to keep. Is there a way to do this in firefox version 12 ? I can't find it.

I just got a new laptop with Win7 and downloaded Friefox 12. On my old computer with Win xp and the older version of firefox, under tools./options/cookies tab I could view cookies and delete those I didn't want to keep and keep the ones I wanted. I have looked everywhere on v12 and all I can find is delete everything. I can"t even find a file on win7 where the cookies are stored. Is there any way to set up v12 to allow me to keep the cookies I want?

Dear eddyc Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Your answer is exactly what I was looking for. One of those things that you feel a bit foolish over because it seems so simple. Guess I didn't look "everywhere" afterall. It's people like you that make me love the Firefox and Mozilla family. Thanks again joysness
