I will concur on that one -- don't touch the contents of an sqlite file,
unless you have specific reason to do so.

I suppose there *might* be some reason to use an access tool if you're
merely examining the contents (e.g., read-only), but ultimately, it's
the same sort of thing as the Windows registry. Don't play with things
unless you know exactly what you're doing.

Hi,

Thanks for the several replies. I will do as advised, and not touch 
those files.

Hi,

I tried to look up the 2 sq.lite sites on my Windows 7 P C, and got a notice 
that Windows cannot handle them. Weird. How  do I access these 2 sq.lite files?


Thanks.

I went to my backups and restored cookies.sqlite, but it looks like
that's not where these settings are, as all the cookie permissions are
still gone.

I don't see any other cookie-related files in the profile.

Thus, the question of where the cookie permissions are stored --
places.sqlite, perhaps, or something else?

That's what I needed, thanks. I'm not sure why I didn't see 
permissions.sqlite when I was looking at the list of files. However, I 
decided that it was better to ask, rather than having to go through 
several iterations of trial-and-error to find things.


As it turns out, apparently I had discarded most of my permissions 
recently.  The most recent backup shows only a few explicit permissions, 
so I went to an older backup, and the full list is there, and now I have 
everything that I want.


Thanks for the feedback.
