I went through some work to make Bugzilla at buzilla.mozilla.org display
the result of a query exactly the way I want it. That display is
controlled by cookies. There are other instances where my preferred
setup of a Web tool is captured as cookies. There is no way that I
would want to purge all my cookies at the end of a session.
Instead, I used the Cookie Manager to edit my saved cookies, deleting
the ones I don't need. Then I copied cookies.sqlite to a new file named
cookies.sqlite-backup. Finally, I created a script that I run before I
launch SeaMonkey. The script deletes cookies.sqlite and then makes a
new copy of cookies.sqlite-backup named cookies.sqlite. This eliminates
all unwanted persistent cookies while keeping all the wanted ones. In
the case of Bugzilla, it also restores those persistent cookies that
might get altered if I make a temporary change to the display of a query.
See bugs #275381, #275713, and #275716.
