Editing cookies with Firefox & WebDeveloper add-on...

I can do that - is this what you mean? (Hmmm, didn't work before for Safari, had to log-in after browser-quit).

Anyway:

Just to be absolutely clear on what I'm after:

The cookie info will only be worth having if it's from a system that allows you to quit Firefox, then re-launch and return to these forums without being required to log in.

I don't know if I'll be able to glean anything useful, but it'll be interesting to me to try to find out anyway.

You betcha! It'll be a PNG image. Sending it over to ya during my lunch break (bout an hour or so from now.) Hope it helps! :)

That's exactly what I want to have a look at, Jason.

If you just want to do a screen grab and send that, that'll be fine.

Thanks.

What do you need, Phos? Do you want me to go to Cookies>View Cookies Information> & Copy/Paste the info here?

Yeah but what about your cookies, Phil?

Try to stay on topic, cowboy!

Can you change a temporary cookie? I suspect that whatever you change will be over-written when the software writes a cookie out at the end of session (or whenever it is writing one).

The past cookie you were able to change might have been a permanent one (i.e., with a date far into the future), and software might not have been set to overwrite it.

It has been too many years since I programmed cookies, but I'm not entirely sure that editing is going to be possible if the software is set to automatically write them.

>and to not hear from people that mess it up worse.

nah. like he said, if you mess something up, you delete the cookie and reload the page...

nah... I just wanted Phos's number... and to not hear from people that mess it up worse.
