Much like the Adblock function that can be used to import and export filters, it would be nice to make this function available for Cookies, Blocked Images, Popups, Form information and whatever other addons are available for the Tools menu. Maybe even an option to export/import all of the above information in a single file? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tools pull down 2. Cookie Manager 3. Manager Stored Cookies Actual Results: Didn't have the options I wanted. Expected Results: Why can't Mozilla walk my dog? The only way to do this currently is moving your profile from machine to machine which has drawbacks.

Jim, do you know of any plans or work in such area? I cannot find anything. And now that we moved from simple plain text files to sqlite3 it's harder to simply do this steps manually.
Ubuntu Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408536 Ubuntu user wanted to import cookies from MSIE.
"it would be nice to make this function available for Cookies, Blocked Images, Popups, Form information and whatever other addons are available for the Tools menu." Hmm, what is this bug? Is this about importing / exporting cookies, importing / exporting profiles (dupe of 22689?), or importing / exporting tool menu items? (wont fix?)
It's about importing/exporting of data from/to single files. When I think about it could be something for an extension. It's a too less used feature. I would second Jim.
This bug is filed in a bugzilla component related to pre-Firefox code which no longer exists. I believe it is no longer relevant and I am therefore closing it INCOMPLETE. If you believe that this bug is still valid and needs to be fixed, please reopen it and move it to the Toolkit:Startup and Profile System product/component.
