My experience on how to clear and enable deleted Firefox cookies, is to be careful what cookies you are deciding to delete. You may block yourself out of your own sites, as I have experienced. Which I will illustrate here how that is possible.
It can be a pain and frustrating if you don’t know what you’re doing. But once you figure out how to fix it, then it becomes a piece of cake, each time you clear and enable deleted Firefox cookies.
Plus if you use these popular browsers such as Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox they may attach cookies to your computer. Attached browser cookies are required and needed for Log in purposes, to recognize the computer in use.

Hello Lani,
Great information here… I have been using IE but recently I switched to Google Chrome which I like very much. I was used to deleting my cookies with IE but I have not done it with GC… Is it the same process as Firefox? Thanks for reminding me to look into this…

Hello, I appreciate the awesome information you shared here and it is simple after watching your video and reading your post. Glad I stopped by and I figure I may as well leave you my input. Nice!
Hey Lani,
I always had that question in the back of my mind. “How to get rid of those cookies?” Thanks for the information because it was informational to me and I’ll get right on it. People had told me that they just go away, but somehow, I didn’t feel like they do.
You have cleared up one of those questions in my mind.
Thanks!

Lani, is it true that some cookies get cleared if you turn off your computer, especially the ones that eat memory even when they don’t need it any more? That’s what I was told.–Annie

@Ann, I appreciate you coming by and leaving me a input. You know I can’t say if you turn off your computer it will eliminate cookies, unless you run a anti-virus that does it for you. I know my Norton clears cookies but I have to enable it to do so. I do know it is stored on your computer so it may be so, but more likely on your hard drive. I hope that helps. Mahalo, Lani

Ann, cookies will still stay at your computer even if you have turned it off, all browsers have the option to clear cookies or as what Lani said, have the antivirus do the job.
