As I write a web application, I currently often need to check what
cookies are available in Firefox, so "Options > Privacy > Remove
individual cookies" gets tiring fast.
Googling for "firefox shortcut view cookies" didn't return much.
Is there really no shortcut to view cookies (CTRL-SHIFT-Del lets me
_delete_ them, not _view_ them.)
Thank you.
Hi Gilles,
If you want to do a lot of work on your cookies an extension is you best
bet there are several. Dave Pyles mentioned at least one.
As far as a keyboard shortcut goes that would be barking up the wrong
tree (unless added by an extension, though all for cookies would add a button).
What you were probably thinking of would be keyword shortcut, such
as a bookmarklet (bookmark with JavaScript code) which could be run
from any profile without installing an extension, possibly even on other
browsers. Here is one after bookmarking add a keyword via bookmark
properties. This one I assigned a keyword of "show:cookies" and
changed the title to "show:cookies Show Cookies" and added the
url location to the description so I know where it came from:

HTH,
David McRitchie, extensions I use are briefly documented on my site
Firefox Custom: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/firefox.htm
Why not remove the need to remove cookies? Set Firefox to default to
refusing cookies and make exceptions to allow only those that you need.
There is a handy extension called Cookie Button that makes it easy to
switch the cookie permission setting for the current website, so it is
no bother to allow cookies for a new site if necessary.
Thank you.
