Ok, so I'm getting downvoted but why? If there's an easy way to deal with cookies in Firefox then please enlighten me.


You can use the `cookie` tool in what's called the "command line". It's been there for quite a while now: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/08/new-firefox-command-line-h...

Granted, it's not an actual panel in the toolbox, but it gets the job done.


Preferences > Privacy > Use custom settings for History > Show Cookies gives you a listing that lets you search by site or cookie name and sort the results, for what that's worth.


It's simpler than even that if you're worried about it on a per-site basis - right click, Page Info, Security, View Cookies. It's the same window, prefiltered by the site you're on.


I don't know of one, but Firebug has a nice cookie viewer/editor. To be fair, the Chrome cookie tool seems to be useless for anything other than deleting cookies, which is why I keep the EditThisCookie extension installed.

Try Ctrl-i, right-arrow 3 times, then Alt-k.
