- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13848810, 4 years agoIn comparison to Cookie Quick Manager, this is just a worse version.
- Rated 4 out of 5by The Beard Below My Chin, 4 years agoFunction over Form.
It's not pretty, but the minimal interface is intuitive enough if you have preliminary understanding of how cookies are constructed. It gives a nice overview of all the cookies and its values. It's perfectly fine if you've used excel or deal with data on a regular bases.
Developer: If you want to simplify things. Make beginner and advanced modes. By default hide all search filters except 'Domain' and use fuzzy search since that's what most people are going for anyways. Ctrl+Shift Selection if possible and Inline editing couldn't hurt either. - Rated 1 out of 5by uhsnay, 5 years agoThis add-on may have sophisticated functions, only the appearence is non-self-explaining. What shall I do to achieve my needs? I am not an IT-specialist.
- Rated 5 out of 5by stevansonium, 5 years agoI am giving this a high rating because it's the best cookie manager in Firefox I've seen that supports Quantum. That said it's far from perfect, just from using it for a couple of minutes:
1) The URL Search does not seem to work, and almost got me to immediately uninstall (fortunately the Domain search works well)
2) The UI is not pretty, but functional (also why does it ask for confirmation to delete a cookie? It's not a big deal if you accidentally delete a cookie anyway)Developer response
posted 5 years ago> 1) The URL Search does not seem to work
Can you share an example of a query, with the expected and actual results?

I am prompting for confirmation because mass-deletion of cookies is a destructive operation. The deletion can be undone via the UI ("Restore"), but I have added a confirmation just in case.
I am wiling to add an option to reduce the number of prompts, if desired.
The review system is not a good place for discussion because of the lack of notifications, so please follow up by mail or Github. - Rated 5 out of 5by 熟睡, 5 years ago

This should and does work... Click on the Cookie Manager's button in the toolbar and choose "Open Cookie Manager for the current page.".
This feature was introduced in version 1.4, so if you don't see the button, check whether you are using the latest version of the add-on. - Rated 4 out of 5by Bullsquid, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Eda190, 5 years agoEditing cookies doesn't work (I clicked Add / Edit cookie, Copy last selected, wrote my value and hit save, and nothing happened. Cookie still bears the old value), UI is crappy and user unfriendly. Definitely wouldn't recommend for anyone looking for replacement of legacy but well working https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookies-manager-plus/
EDIT: To adress author's comment - I mean the value of the actual cookie. It doesn't update in interface neither touches the cookie at all. It still has the value that it had before I tried to edit it (tested with my own website).
I suggest you to fix the bugs, make standart addon interface - a window rather than HTML page (So I don't have to type the adress myself, but just click the button on the page where I want my cookies displayed). Then I will gladly change my rating and will happily use this addon. Until then, disabled.Developer response
posted 5 years agoEDIT: Try the latest version (1.4). If you continue to experience issues, please contact me by e-mail.
What do you mean by "cookie still bears the old value"?
Are you looking at the interface,
the interface after clicking on "Search" again,
or the site itself?
The results in the interface are not automatically updated when new cookies are added (the reason is to make sure that the interface looks stable; if the interface were to be updated immediately, then any cookie change initiated by another website can cause the list of cookies to move around).
PS. In the next update the workflow for editing will be improved, every cookie will have an Edit button to edit the content and automatically update the UI to mark the cookie as edited. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13541625, 5 years agoThis extension will NOT delete cookies with V57.0.
To test this extension, I started by trying to delete expired cookies.
You can select them in the UI and click the "remove selected" button at the bottom and they will be greyed out in the list but that is it. If you refresh the list they are not greyed out any more.
Since there is a "restore selected" button I thought maybe you had to close the tab to complete the delete but that didn't work either. I even set the FF Tracking Protection to Never.
What am I missing????
Looks like V1.4 fixes this issueDeveloper response
posted 5 years agoWere you trying to delete cookies with a red expiry date?
If not, are you using any non-default browser settings?
If yes, install the latest version (1.4) and try again. As of 1.4 such expired cookies are explicitly deleted if needed. - Rated 5 out of 5by DeronLJ, 5 years agoMuch more detail that the built-in cookie UI. Aware of container tabs, which is a big plus.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13516100, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by alkoro, 5 years agoI using this plugin, but if have no alternative after ff57.
Feature request: add keyword search. For example, i need to delete all cookies from aliexpress.com work. Now i need to select several domains to do it. Just entering word "ali" can select whole cookies from all domains at once.
Update: (How to write new report?) Next thing: Expired cookies (colored in red) - why its are not deleted immediately, like the rest of the usual cookies? Why such difficulties with editing, it's a waste of time, which negates the entire speed of working with cookies. I was really annoed until I finally read popup message under thats cookies. Developer response
posted 5 years agoIn version 1.4 (latest):
1. Click on the Edit button at the right of a cookie row.
2. Modify the fields.
3. Save the changes.
Version 1.3.1 and before:
1. Click "add cookie".
2. Click the "Copy last selected cookie" button.
3. Modify the fields.
4. Save the changes.- Rated 4 out of 5by blinix2, 5 years agoI would give a 3 star but this is a good enough alternative to other cookies manager now that firefox killed all others. Now the only thing will be to improve the UI and this will be a 4-5 star.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13473927, 5 years agoNot better than Cookies Manager+. Thanks FF Quantum... UI is not good yes, but it works. 4 stars for another alternative.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Lukas Mai, 5 years agoSort of functional, but the user interface is pretty bad.
You can search for cookies, but only if you already know exactly which cookie you're looking for. E.g. if you know that cookies have a "host" field, you can enter an exact name there and click "search". It only finds exact matches (no substring search) and there is no autocompletion. The UI form is spaced out all over the window, so you might not even see the buttons at the bottom at first glance. As far as I can tell, you can't really edit existing cookies. There's a "new cookie" form (which completely replaces the view/search form, you can't have both open at the same time) and its fields always start out empty, even if you had an existing cookie selected before. Even if you've managed to create your own cookie by filling all fields and clicking the "save" button, there is no apparent way back to the overview screen. The "new cookie" form just stays open and sits there. Fortunately the "cancel" button doesn't actually cancel your new cookie but takes you back (?).
3 stars because the add-on technically works (I think?), but the UI is borderline unusable.Developer response
posted 5 years agoYou don't have to know the full host, use "*" as host name.
And I admit that the UI can be improved. It is optimized for the use case of removing cookies, modification of cookies was bolted on later. The UI is also optimized for mobile (because there is no cookie manager on Firefox mobile).
Pull requests for an improved UI are welcome... - Rated 1 out of 5by Emanuel, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13420532, 5 years agoNo privacy policy. Your add ons have access to sensitive cookies and data. Yet, No disclosure as to how you intend to use such sensitive data freely available to you.
EDIT: Updated my rating. Still, I would feel better, if the privacy policy link is updated in the add on descriptions or in the official Mozilla add ons privacy policy section.Developer response
posted 5 years agoEDIT: I added a concise yet complete privacy policy at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-cookie-manager/privacy/
I have no explicit privacy policy because the add-on is not collecting any data.
If you would feel better, in absence of an explicit privacy policy, my policy is at https://robwu.nl/privacy/ :

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13222001, 5 years agoI couldn't use this anymore, despite I'm using the Firefox on android.
It kind of worked from the beginning, after awhile, it required me to choose something called "Cookie Jar" from the list, but the list was completely empty and I couldn't Save the edited cookie.
What happened all of the sudden? The choosing "Cookie Jar" option never popped up before and why now? I tried uninstalling it multiple times and that option still popped up.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThis happens when container tabs are disabled (which is the default up until Firefox 56). I have fixed the issue in v1.3.1. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13222001, 5 years ago
