Effortlessly Manage Browser Cookies with CookieKiller for Firefox

Are you seeking a straightforward method for handling the cookies stored within your browser? Discover how quickly and easily you can achieve this with the CookieKiller extension designed for Firefox.

Accessing the CookieKiller Extension

Upon installation, CookieKiller can be accessed in two distinct ways. The first is via the “Status Bar Icon”. This icon reveals a convenient “Right Click Menu”.

A left-click on the “Status Bar Icon” displays a current listing of all cookies present in your browser. Selecting a specific cookie from this list will immediately remove it.

Observe the three commands positioned at the top of the interface.

For demonstration purposes, we utilized the “Status Bar Icon” to delete cookies. By clicking on the “google.com.sg” entry, we simultaneously removed its associated “sub-cookie” (indicated by the indented listing).
