Cookies and Profile Question
How does Firefox store cookies? In other words I understand they are stored in a file in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\d3z0e911.default. In a file or files called Cookies.sqlite. I have PC Tools Performance Toolkit and I have it delete Cache History, Cookies and Address Bar. Problem is when it deletes this I lose my profile and must move everything back around. It appears there is no way to individually delete or save cookies in PC Tools PT. Is there a way to prevent Performance Toolkit for deleting my profiles? Which of the 3 items mentioned above will allow the profile to remain? My other option is to use Firefox to delete my cookies and history. In that case, if Firefox stores cookies in a single file, how large does Firefox allow this file to get? Does Firefox retain a certain size for these files containing cookies? The reason I ask is if I remove the cookies myself form Firefox I'm only able to "Remove Cookie" or "Remove All Cookies". I'm unable to select certain cookies to keep. All-in-All though I really like Firefox so far. Everything seem simple except for getting Themes. I can't seem to find a quick way of doing it but I'll get it.

Yes it will keep those Cookies but later you can also Delete unwanted Cookies
Cookie Settings
Check and tell if its working.

Don't select Firefox in the Programs List of PC Tools Settings.

Yes, that's what I did. But how about the cookies files. Does Firefox actually save all cookies?? So if I wait to long to delete the cookies will I be swamped with thousands to delete??
It depends on the History Settings set by user in Options -> Privacy panel
Check and tell if its working.
Ah, ok, I see now. So if I don't tell Firefox to delete cookies on exit I'll end up with bunches of cookies?

I believe it will be a learning curve for me. Seems there are many settings I can use to accomplish my goals.
