Hi Honza, Thank you for the rapid reply! A colleague pointed out that the values can be edited in the console btw.
I looked at the Storage tab and it usefully displays everything I need, but I'm unable to edit the values. To answer your question of do I need it and why: I have been working a lot lately ( 6 months at least) with cookies and features being displayed dynamically based on the cookie value. Having to set this value in the database or elsewhere is much less convenient than using the cookie panel to edit the values. Being able easily edit the dates, URL encoding and other items is a fantastic feature, it would have taken me a lot longer in testing without this. Essentially it means I can run a whole series of tests without having to change anything in my code which is a massive bonus. Sure I could go other routes, like using fiddler, or using another tool, but having it included alongside the power of firebug just makes it so much easier. This is not just for me, when the QA people need to test some of the features, it helps for initial smoke testing. When the business need to quickly check some features, they can do it without having to create accounts just to get different preferences loaded. Again, massive time and fuss saving. 1) Raw Data display 2) Can edit the values 3) Can change the encoding 4) Can copy cookies easily 5) Can do all this with minimum fuss and without having to revert to command line. For me, my QA people, and the business team, this feature is very useful. (Of course I can use firebug 2, but it's urging me to upgrade lol......) Again, thanks for developing a fantastic tool, pretty much every job I have been in, people use it.
