CCleaner deleting ALL firefox 3.6.3 cookies!

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

Win 7 (32), FireFox 3.6.3, A-squared 4.5 paid anti-malware, latest CCleaner.

Noticed Since the latest CC upgrade!- every time I run CC, it deletes ALL FireFox cookies! Analyze doesn't show it flagging Any FF cookies!?

I have all my favorite web site login cookies to keep/saved, and no problem with IE8!

Wouldn't be so bad with IE8, as Id just restore cookies from backups!- There seems to be no way to Export/Import "Only" FF cookies! Grrr!

Q?- FF cookies is checked in Applications, doesn't CC honor the "cookies to keep" list for FF?

I don't understand...

Why not just leave the Cookies section in Firefox unchecked???

I think because he tried to set CCleaner to delete all the cookies, but he wanted it to leave certain ones.

In effect, he was trying to get CCleaner to do a "Delete all cookies EXCEPT these certain ones here!"

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that is what he was trying to do...

That is exactly what I was trying to do, and CC is no longer deleting my FF cookies?

It may have been that I accidentally still had Show Hidden files selected?

BTW!- I finally figured out how to backup FF cookies!

To Backup FF cookies-

1. In MyComputer, Tools, Folder Options, View- Show Hidden files, and untick "Hide Extensions for known file types".

2. Go to- C:/users/(name)/appdata/roaming/mozilla/firefox/profiles/(name).default

3. copy/paste cookies.sqlite into your backup folder

4. Go back, and "Don't show hidden files"/reboot

To Restore cookies

1. copy/paste your #3 cookies backup, into #2...

2. Go back, and "Don't show hidden files"/reboot
