Once in the 70's and then again in the early 90's. I sincerely appreciate the time and help from both of you.Īlterna, cool avatar, Alan, Colorado is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Oh and for the heck of it, I also copied the formhistory.sqlite into a new profile and I have no idea if that is just a waste of time but everything is playing nicely in a new profile. I think that I'll be ok now with the combination of using CookieSafe and exporting and importing the ke圓.db and signons3.txt files, exporting and importing my passwords saved by Firefox, and also by using Secure Login. I've been under the impression that cookies are used so that when I return to a particular site I won't have to re-enter my login info and my other settings on that site are retained as well and that is what I was I was shooting for because (like I said) I use a different password for nearly all sites that I visit that requires one and it's a pain to have to look up that info each time that I visit a site after clearing private data or building a new profile. I really like the idea of creating a whitelist that I can export and then import into a new profile or for one that I cleared the private data. Most days I'm online for anywhere between 10-14 hours per day and the cookie jar ( ) fills up rather quickly. I don't know how you all manage your cookies individually because even if I delete cookies to start from scratch it's just a matter of hours if not minutes that the list of cookies gets too long and not too manageable for me at least.

It's easy enough to use and I like the options. I haven't put a whole lot of time into it yet but I'm going with CookieSafe. So my question is, is there a way to import / export cookies for selected web sites so that if I have to clear my private data, I can simply import cookies for the selected web sites and avoid having to re-enter my login info? I use a different password for nearly all of my online accounts so I'm sure that you can understand what I'm trying to do or avoid having to do.Īlso, are there any profile files that I can/should backup and replace as necessary that would help me with this? The biggest pain is that I have to re-enter my login info for web sites because Secure Login doesn't always provide help in doing so after clearing my private data (but not clearing passwords). I never did it while using Firefox 2 but I have had to several times with Firefox 3. I don't see why I should considering the amount of tools available for managing cookies, history etc. If I had my way, I'd never clear my private data at all.

I'll be honest, I don't know a whole lot about cookies so feel free to educate me.
