where are cookies stored?

Submitted by bpmackow on June 25, 2011 - 4:03am

I found a folder on my school user network drive labeled "cookies". It contains cookies from dates when I know I didn't use IE (I used it twice the entire spring semester). I also contained cookies from dates old enough that they should have been deleted when I periodically clear out the cookies.

So what I want to know is, where does Firefox Portable save cookies? There is also ~/FirefoxPortable/Data/profile/cookies.sqlite, could this be it?

Bug in the Locale parameter

Submitted by mgagnonlv on June 23, 2011 - 11:07am

Hello,

For some time (maybe since Firefox 4.0), I think there is a bug in remembering my preferred locale. And my recent forays in PHP seems to confirm it: it is NOT defined.

The problem exists when I use the French portable edition of Firefox 4.01 and now 5.0, on Windows 7 and, I'm almost certain, on Windows XP. And it definitely is unique to the Portable edition of Firefox because the non-portable edition does not have this problem. And starting a new profile doesn't solve the problem.

Thanks.

Customization in FF3 vs FF4

Submitted by Mickey.Mouse on June 19, 2011 - 11:05am

Our company dictates that IE must be used, the reasons for I wont even get into. prior to FF4 a bunch of geeks just edited the all.js file of FF and happily went along our way using FF without BB knowing or caring.

With FF4 I dont know or see what they did because I cant find that file that used to be located here C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\greprefs\

SO I have to use FF3 until we can find how we can trick the perimeter into thinking FF is no longer an "illegal browser"

Any help would be great.
