UP!

please do NOT resurrect,from the DEAD, a thread from 2008 for a VERY DEAD version of Firefox

firefox3 is VERY dead
the current is firefos 16

what worked in ff3 ( before the redesign ) will not work in firefox 16

start a new thread please

I just want to mention that the Extract Cookies extension in Firefox still exists, and that particular method mentioned still works.

I have come up with this command:

sqlite3 -separator $'\t' cookies.sqlite 'select CASE "isHttpOnly" WHEN "0" then "" else "." END || basedomain, CASE "isHttpOnly" WHEN "0" then "FALSE" else "TRUE" END, path, CASE "issecure" WHEN "0" then "FALSE" else "TRUE" END, expiry, name, value from moz_cookies;' > cookies.txt


Wget tends to make cookies.txt files where the base domain begins with a period where only that path can be served with that cookie. This correlates with the field isHttpOnly being set and the second field set to true. The SQL statement above from my experiments outputs a site's cookies precisely the same by reading Mozilla's cookie database as it does directly from wget, with database from Firefox 30.0.
