    For Windows

    Your cookies are stored in:

    • In Firefox 2.x: plain text file (cookies.txt) in a unix-format text file (eg LF instead of CRLF for newlines).
    • In Firefox 3.0 and up: a binary file representing SQLite database on which you can make queries (cookies.sqlite).

    The file is located under your profile folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxx.default  

    where xxxx is some random-appearing alphanumeric string.

    You might want to install the Firefox plugin View Cookies to better manage them.

    For Linux

    Your cookies are stored at:

    ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxx.default/cookies.sqlite 

    where xxxx is some random-appearing alphanumeric string.
