How can I export cookies for a restore later?
I only know how to export bookmarks for later restoration. I'd also like to export the cookies that I use on my normal sites so I can also restore them later.
thanks

There is an extension that exports cookies to the old text file format. That might allow you to delete out the ones your don't want using a text editor. I think you would need the extension again to import your (edited) file back into Firefox.

Hi,
I use the FEBE add-on to back-up most "stuff" (bookmarks, themes, add-ons, cookies etc.) on Firefox.... I've found it useful when I've needed to restore Firefox.... Take a look and see if it's something you like............

That looks like the kind of add-on that I'd want, but I'm using the ESR version of Firefox and FEBE doesn't support it. Sorry for not mentioning that to begin with.
thanks for trying though Kerry

Thanks. This add-on seems to be able to work with ESR and it should do what I'd like to do. Appreciate the help and the link!

It may also be of interest that the Cookie Wizard with Whitelist extension allows the export of cookies, either for all sites, or for selected sites. This saves having to do so much work with a text editor. The extension uses the standard format, and so the exported files can be imported, either using this extension, or using many other cookie import extensions.
