Hi,

I was looking at extracting cookies from cookies.sqlite in FF 3.0.14
and I noticed that it contains less cookies than when using FF GUI. It
seems like the ones that have "expiry" set to "at end of session" are
not stored in the database.

Do you know if there is any way of changing it or accessing these
cookies?

cheers,
Tomek

No, session cookies are never stored in the database. The only way to
access them is to create an extension that runs inside of Firefox and
use the cookie APIs.

Cheers,

I believe you want to look into permissions.sqlite. The ones with
permission set to 8 are for "allow for session",
2 is for "Block", and 1 is for "Allow"

to correct myself, sorry there is no cookies stored, just permissions
for hosts
