How to delete Cookies from Firefox?

Cookies are small pieces of text that is used by websites to store temporary information onto the user’s system during a particular browsing session.

These cookies may contain authentication data, session data, browsing history, etc. So, effectively cookies contain personal data that may be linked to a person for any given site.

Cookies provide functionality of storing information that will allow the website to identify the user and based on that information serve custom information or data as requested by the client.

Cookies often do not get deleted themselves and it would be the responsibility of the user to clear this data for security reasons. All browsers support such cookie information.

Here we will look at how to clear cookie information from Firefox. To delete cookies from Firefox follow the below given instructions:
•   Open the Firefox browser and click on the Tools menu. Under the tools menu click on Options.
•   Choose the Privacy icon on the top. Click on the cookies option and then click on view cookies.
•   This will show you the list of all the cookies that are present on the hard drive currently via Firefox.
•   To delete a single cookie, select the cookie which needs to be removed and click on remove button.
•   To delete all the cookies at once, click on the Remove All button.

This will delete all the cookies that are stored onto the hard drive through the Firefox browser.

It has to be noted that if any other browser is also used on the system other than Firefox, the user would need to delete the cookies under that browser as well by following the steps for deleting cookies under those browsers.

Deleting cookies in Firefox wouldn’t delete the cookies from other browsers.
