I wish you could see my Firefox cookie list.
*Thousands* of them from sites I’ve never even *heard* of, let alone visited.
Every once in a while I spend an hour deleting a bunch of them but they’re seemingly never-ending.
[and 90% are “click through” crap]
We spend a lot of time looking at news and politics, so we collect a lot of that sort of stuff. Can’t be avoided, really.
Yes, you have to delete cookies one by one. I really wouldn’t want to erase them all since most websites insist that you sign up before you can do anything there, and I forget my passwords.
In Internet Exploder, you could just go to the cookie folder, lasso a slew of them and delete them en mass.
Firefox hides theirs somewhere so you can’t.
Go to “Tools” “Options” “Privacy” “Show Cookies.” It shows them in alphabetical order.
Cute. You can’t tell when they were attached to you.
Yeah I know where to find *that* but not the system folder where I can obliterate them by the hundreds at one time.
Oh I see the problem. Ya got me there.
I tried searching for one of the cookies listed in the “show cookies” results, but I got “no items matched your search.”
That’s weird, since the cookies show files with content. I can’t imagine why they can’t be found by a search of the entire computer. Winning The Future?
Beats me.
The *only* thing I like about Firefox is that it saves my log ins better than IE does.
Other than that, it’s a like surfing with a crash test dummy.
