Thanks Ralf,
That does indeed show the individual cookies. Now I have to decide
whether or not it is worth the hassle to do it. Before Mozilla made the
change all I had to do was open settings and after a couple of clicks I
had a list of cookies I could select for deletion. Now I would have to
close all running instances of Firefox, open dbbrowser to make the
deletions and then reopen multiple instances of Firefox. I guess that's
what the call new and improved.
