Enabling Cookies in Firefox on OS X

When you use Firefox on your Mac, there may be times when you want to manage cookies for a particular website or domain. However, by default, Firefox's settings are set to never remember history, which means that the link or button to manage cookies is not available. Fortunately, there are still ways to view and manage cookies in Firefox.

One way to access cookies is to use the address `chrome://browser/content/preferences/cookies.xul`. This will take you directly to the cookie management page. From here, you can view a list of all the cookies that have been set for the current website or domain.

Another option is to install the View Cookies extension, which provides an easy-to-use interface for managing cookies. By default, this extension only shows cookies for the current page, but you can remove the search string and it will show all cookies. You can also use the Page Info dialog to view cookies. To do this, right-click on a page and select 'View Page Info.' From here, go to the 'Security' tab and click 'View Cookies.'

You can also delete cookies via the context menu. Simply right-click on a cookie and select 'Delete Cookie.' Alternatively, you can use the Developer Tools to view and modify cookies.

To access the Developer Tools in Firefox, press Ctrl+Shift+I (or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac). From here, you can navigate to the 'Storage' tab and manage your cookies. You can also use the 'Elements' tab to find specific cookies and modify their values.

It's worth noting that as of Firefox 61, access to cookies has been removed from the regular end-user UI. This means that users will no longer be able to view or manage cookies directly through the browser interface. However, the methods outlined above still provide a way for users to access and manage their cookies, even if it's not as straightforward as before.

In summary, while Firefox's default settings may make it difficult to manage cookies, there are still several ways to do so. By using the address `chrome://browser/content/preferences/cookies.xul`, installing the View Cookies extension, or accessing the Developer Tools, you can view and manage your cookies with ease.
