Hi! I am looking for some help with understanding more about the cookies.sqlite file. I use to add/remove cookies in bulk to the exceptions list when I used the cookies.txt file however now that I am unable to use a text pad to quickly paste the names of cookies, I am finding trying to modify my exception list has become quite tedious. I was wondering if I would be able to use another method to view/work with the list of cookies outside of the Firefox browser? Thank you in advance for your help!

You would need an SQLite manager program to open the cookies.sqlite file and inspect it.
However exceptions are no longer stored in the cookies.sqlite database, but in one permissions.sqlite database file.

You can give it a first try with the SQLite Manager extension if you don't have one yourself yet.
