Firefox blocking cookie detection & deletion


Recommended Posts

I think that may be an older article.

In Windows Firefox cookies/supercookies are now actually stored in 4 files in your user profile.

In %Userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{profilename}\ there are:
cookies.sqlite
webappsstore.sqlite
SiteSecurityServiceState.txt

In %Userprofile%\AppData\Local\....etc. there is:
index.sqlite

There are also other files saved in your user profile (either local or roaming) for the Firefox session, cache, jumplist, activity stream, and old/submitted crash reports.
(I've written my own cleaning routine to delete all of these).
I won't give them all on the open forum as that might upset Piriform, but once you know they are there it's easy enough to find them by name.

Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? See this link:
