Untested (3rd Google hit for "import firefox cookies python"): http://blog.mithis.net/archives/python/90-firefox3-cookies-in-python At a minimum, I think you'll need to replace: from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite With: import sqlite3 as sqlite You'll also have to figure out where Firefox's `cookies.sqlite` file is located on your system.
