i went through all of the above iterations and found that cccleaner 2.19.901 reported the cookies as erased. then i looked in firefox3 and found none of the cookies erased. then i returned to ccleaner to see that all of the old cookies were once again reported as being present. went back to firefox, i manually deleted some cookies and left others - ccleaner reported this list correctly. then ran crap cleaner again - and cookies were not erased. if fact, a new cookie appeared on the ccleaner list which was not in the firefox list - there is obviously a major bug going on here
