Details

I have a lot of machines with a lot of OSes, plus what I use at work. Too many preferences/passwords for too many web sites are storied via cookies. Everytime I move to a new machine none of the web pages react the way I expect because the proper cookies are not on that machine. I'd like a feature to export and import cookies from one machine to another. Or, alternativly you could just tell me where (in Win32) Mozilla stores its cookies. Or, in another alternative, you could add the feature to print cookies (txt or xls) and edit them via cookie manager. Yeah, I can see security issues here. Maybe the export/edit features should have to go through the master password verification feature from the password manager.
I thought for sure this would have come up before, but if it's a dup I can't find it. Marking as new, changing priority to enhancement. In Win32, the cookies are stored in /windows/application data/mozilla/profiles/(profilename)/(randomstring).slt/cookies.txt
