Deleting Cookies

Hi

No it's the only thing to make it deleting the un-protected cookies at exit.
If you manually delete all cookies with CookieKeeper (via the main window, the main menu or the toolbar icon menu), it is the same function executed than when exiting. Does it work manually?

Yes, it works manually.

I can delete by Tools | Cookie Keeper | Show Cookies >>highlight the cookie todelete >> press Remove cookie
That removes the cookies and they stay gone. The Show Cookies list is then correct after closing and reopening Firefox.

ok.
If the cookies are still not delete at shutdown, I may suspect some problems:
- Another installed add-on interfered
- The Firefox process crashed before Firefox call the shutdown function of cookiekeeper, or don't completely stop.
- Some cookies, are re-created when firefox start, this may be the case if you reload with your previous session. Depending if you load all tab upon restart, or only load tab when selected (see firefox preferences->tabs). Even, if you load tab only if selected, some cookies are recreated, I don't really know why.

Note: There is a major difference with CookieCuller: CookieCuller delete cookies when the browser start, CookieKeeper delete when you quit your browser.

Can you test on some random website ?
- Start Firefox,
- Go to some website
- Check the cookies created
- Quit firefox
- Re-start firefox
- See if the cookies are still here or not.

Thank you.

No crash/reloads.

I do not reload the previous session and have Tab Mix Plus set NOT to. I use the Firefox session restore after crashes.

I've tried it on a variety of sites from major ones like wikipedia and youtube to keysnet.com. They all set cookies and those cookies all are retained in the shutdown/restart process.

FYI I have the following add-ons
Cookie Exporter 1.5
Cookie Importer 1.1
Yours
Default Full Zoom Level 7.5
Ghostery 5.4.1
Image Zoom 0.6.3
NetVideoHunter 1.16
PasswordExporter 1.2.1
Saved Password Editor 2.8.1
Social Fixer 12.0
Tab Mix Plus 0.4.1.6
plus these plugins
OpenH264 Video Codec (Crisco) 1.1
Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.235

New detail.

I saw, when grabbing the list of add-ons that the "Reload a tab regardless of its address" tab was checked in Tab Mix Plus. I unchecked it and performed a new normal Firefox shutdown/restart sequence.

With that option unchecked and no other change CookieKeeper removed all cookies from
doubleclick.net
fwmrm.net
google..com
hulu.com
and theboynextdoorfilm.com

but cookies from youtube.com remained.

For the youtube.com remaining cookies they may be like I said recreated when Firefox start.
Maybe due the presence in the tiles (when opening a new tab).

You may see the cookies creation date (this information is not available for dom storages, Mozilla do not save it), by adding a new column. in the display list. Does theses cookies creation date is the same date than the browser start, or they are created before the browser previous stop time ?

I'm sorry, the source of the problem you have may not very easy to find.
You can also, if there is no privacy problem in the profile send me your Firefox's profile, so I can debug myself, to <email address hidden>.

Thank you.

Hello I have the same issue but in my case I think it's due to firefox regularly crashing if I try to close it normally.
I generally kill the firefox process to be quicker since I have other addons that save my session regularly so I don't need the one when the browser exits.
Because of this I was wondering if you could add the option to delete cookies at startup of the browser too.
Would it be possible?

Many thanks regardless.

Hi, yes it is possible.
I understand that killing the FFx process is quicker, but well... you have some risk to corrupt your datas.
I will think about that in a future version.
