Trying to delete cookies in Firefox 32 Developers Console does not work

I am using Firefox 32 on MacOsx

After running the "Cookie List" command in the dev console, I see a list of cookies. However, the Edit and Delete buttons don't work at all.

Is there a known issue with this?

Pressing the "edit" and "remove" buttons just fills in the command in the dev console. Then you need to focus and press Enter to do the actual edit or delete.

Bad unobvious design, IMHO.



(I know this question is old, but came across it looking for a better way, thought I'd give a clear explanation).

I am not aware of any open bugs for this specific issue. I just tested it in Firefox 33 and it worked fine, I was able to create / delete cookies without any problem.

If you have a specific scenario that is expected to fail with Firefox 32, I advise you to post a new error for it here .



On the side of the note, you might be interested in the new Storage Inspector tool that just landed in Firefox Nightly . It is read-only, but will also release a edition soon. It allows you to check cookies, DB indexed, local and session stores.

As pointed out earlier, these buttons just fill out the command for you, but this is not a very good and straightforward way to work with cookies.

You should try a tool like FireBug . In the Cookies tab, you can right-click a cookie to manipulate it (clear / delete / edit, etc.).
