Firecookie is a an extension for Firebug that makes possible to view and manage cookies in your browser. Apart from all the other cookie managers and viewers available as Firefox extensions, this one is made as an extension for Firebug, so web developer has the functionality accessible within familiar Firebug's UI.
Once Firecookie is successfully installed you should see a new tab within Firebug's bar called simply Cookies. This tab displays a list of all cookies associated with domain of the currently displayed page. Each entry in the list displays basic information about one cookie (i.e. name, value, domain, path, expire date).
Every cookie in the list is expandable. This is useful especially when the cookie value is long and can't be fully displayed directly.
If you are looking for a specific cookie by name, use Firebug's search box and write down it's name. The list is dynamically filtered as you type in the box.
There are also some actions available in toolbar. You can create a new cookie, remove all cookies (currently displayed in the list) or manage page permissions. The permission button displays the current status as a label and it's automatically updated if the permission is changed (e.g. from the Firefox options dialog).
If you would want to see when something happens to a cookie, use the existing Console tab. Firecookie creates a log entry every time when a cookie is created, changed, deleted or rejected. This can be switched off in Cookie->Options menu.
An existing cookie can be also modified by hand. Just right click on a cookie and choose Edit action. A dialog with appropriate text fields is displayed for you.
The clipboard is also supported. If you need it, just right click on a cookie and use standard Cut, Copy and Paste actions.
Use issue list here to make any suggestions or bug reports. Any ideas about further possible extensions for Firebug are greatly appreciated!
Thanks to Sasa for designing the logo and cookie icon.
