Can some one please tell me where to find the firefox cookie (C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data) + name of cookie that enables and disables google instant. Running Windows XP and 7.

Firefox doesn't store the cookies as separate files in the Local Settings\Application Data folder, but stores all cookies in a SQLite database file called cookies.sqlite.

Thank you cor-el for the reply. When I make changes to Google settings by turning off "Google Instant" it doesn't update the file you indicated (cookies.sqlite)? Is there something else?

XP Location: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ell38x6s.default\cookies.sqlite

In fact no files in this directory get updated.
