how to open cookies file in java
I am writing a java application that shows FireFox cookies. Is it possible to open the cookies.sqlite file and read that database in Java? I tried with org.sqlite.JDBC driver but without success. And got exception: file is encrypted or is not a database

Will your application install as an extension? In that case, you can use XPCOM: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XPCOM_Interface_Reference/nsICookieManager
If your application is meant to run as an applet in a web page, your application probably does not have permission to access cookies, other than the ones set by the same host.
Thank you. My application is meant to run as an applet in a web page. Still I hope it's possible to access firefox cookies from an applet somehow.
For help on this, you could try the Extension Development forum at MozillaZine: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=19
Thank you very much! I'll try it.
