How to preserve one specific cookie and delete the rest.

Post by Crow23 »

Options, Privacy and Security, Remove Individual Cookies, only as options to select one to remove, or remove all. This is not a good way to access a feature.

I wish to remove all cookies but save one special cookie which must at any price be allowed to remain (because I paid for that cookie).

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/995232
the above URL provides to addons but they will not work with the latest Firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo ... it-220876/
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo ... kiedelete/

Obviously I am not going to take an hour to individually remove all but one cookie. I need to remove all but one cookie daily, thousands of times over the course of a year. And do it quickly??

Is allowing cookies during the session, but clearing them at close - with exception, acceptable?


If so, something like:

Options | Privacy -> History --> custom settings ...
Accept cookies ... until I close Firefox
Then, add an Exception for 1_special_site.com
Fire 750, bring back 250.
