its unnecessary, you can delete cookies without problems. ;) the "necessary" cookies come back with visit the page.

the cookies will come back - but not what the cookies contained, like passwords.

i would give you so gladly right. but I need to respeak with them.

 

the passwords are stored in key3.db.

the cookies are stored in cookies.sqlite.

 

that is the reason why there in the ccleaner-options "passwords" and "cookies" and other things are separately.

 

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\abcdefgh.default

 

it follows for the thread-opener: you can activate the option "cookies" with a good conscience. :)

that's not my understanding.

the passwords are not stored in key3.db but the cipher key used to encrypt or decrypt your stored passwords is.

there is also a 2nd place for the storage - logins.json

 

anyway, ff managed cookies separately from passwords.

 

if I should repeat myself, here again a copy from above B)  :)
