Firefox 3 uses sqlite to store cookies. Earlier mozillas used text files. The Sqlite database contains only one table. The structure is: moz_cookies (id INTEGER, name TEXT, value TEXT, host TEXT, path TEXT,expiry INTEGER, lastAccessed INTEGER, isSecure INTEGER, isHttpOnly INTEGER) I don't think several processes can access the same database (I could be wrong). So you will have to copy the database file and use something like http://zentus.com/sqlitejdbc/ to access the data. Webkit, IE, Chrome, older mozillas, etc. use different schemes. Is a plug-in architecture called for?
