Why Firefox cookie manager always fails to delete one particular cookie?
When i use the Firefox Cookie Manager to delete cookies one is always left, and often I get an error message saying that there has been an error and I should try again later, what is going on? Why is this one Cookie immune from being erased? It is also impossible to bring up details using the edit button next to this cookie.

Hi,
Assuming that you're using this extension :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-cookie-manager/
Under 'About this extension' it says (and of course I don't know if this applies to you) :
" If you try to edit a private browsing cookie of a site on the Tracking protection blocklist, then you must temporarily disable Tracking protection, via the "Tracking protection" checkbox at Settings > Privacy. "
You could always contact the developer - see under 'More information': Support Email.
What cookie is this about?
If clearing Cookies didn't help then It is possible that the Cookies.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder that stores the Cookies got corrupted.
- rename/remove Cookies.sqlite (Cookies.sqlite.old) and if present delete Cookies.sqlite-shm and Cookies.sqlite-wal in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed in case Cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
- Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Directory:
Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
I am using Cookie Manager for Desktop version 1.4 on my laptop computer.
moz-extension/ blah blah/cookie-manager.html
the cookie is:
(Name)" _atuvc"; (Value) "2%7c29"; (Domain) empty;(Path)" /"; (Flags) empty; (expiryDate)" 21/Jul/2019 11:57:28"
It is always the first cookie in the list when I check my computer for cookies and cannot be edited or deleted.
