nsICookieService is not a public API. In other words, dont use it. I was
advised by Jud Valeski to use nsICookieManager. This is IDlized and you can
access the component using the ComponentManager. The nsICookieManager API
allows you to iterate through the cookies and remove them individually or
together. After you get an nsICookie object from the enumerator, you can
query it for it's string, it's host, etc.
About setting cookies, that is not permitted. Anyways, only the server
should be allowed to set cookies and the embedding app should not need to
do this.
