I have the SQLite Manager and I am looking at the cookies in the DB for the file cookies.sqlite

I am unable to see the cookies for some pages that I am browsing.

I have logged into a page and then " Tools > Page Info > Security > View Cookie"

I see a cookie called "JSESSIONID" all see all its details here. But I do not see it in the cookies.sqlite

Is there someother place where this gets stored? or it doesnt because its a JESESSIONID ?

Chosen solution

Only cookies that you keep across a browsing session are stored in cookies.sqlite.
Session cookies that expire when you close Firefox are never stored.

You can see the expiration in the cookies manager (Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies")
