Notes on Firefox cookie managers
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/07
I tried these:
- 3.7 stars [Wayback/Archive] Cookie Manager – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
- 4.4 stars [Wayback/Archive] Cookie Quick Manager – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
For me, the last works best and has its configuration page at moz-extension://4ea87baa-23b8-4b4a-bd88-7a6bc4b8e442/cookies.html?parent_url=
The first starts with an intimidating query screen without clear indication on what each query option means nor how to perform deletes on the returned cookies.
I did not yet try 4.2 stars [Wayback/Archive] Cookie-Editor – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
Query: [Wayback/Archive] firefox cookie manager – Google Suche
Note: my usual starting point is moz-extension://4ea87baa-23b8-4b4a-bd88-7a6bc4b8e442/cookies.html?parent_url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F*%2F as that will select cookies on web.archive.org where lots of archived sites pollute that domain with cookies. This inevitably causes the Wayback Machine save page to error out.
