godtreep Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I recently read an article from Mozilla << In some browsers, each cookie is a small file, but in Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file, located in the Firefox profile folder >> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted March 21, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 21, 2019 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. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?
