When I finally had winnowed the cookies to the set that was desired, I copied the files cookies.sqlite and cookies.sqlite-journal into files cookies.sqlite-backup and cookies.sqlite-journal-backup respectively. (I don't know if this was necessary for cookies.sqlite-journal, but I didn't want to analyze this.) I created a script that reversed this, copying the backup files over the corresponding source files. I run this script just before launching SeaMonkey. I have four SeaMonkey profiles. My script operates on two of them (both of which I had winnowed and created backups). A third profile is for guests; the same script merely deletes cookies.sqlite and cookies.sqlite-journal. The fourth profile is for certain financial sites that make logging-in complicated unless I leave their cookies alone; my script ignores that profile. (That fourth profile also always spoofs Firefox because the site owners refuse to acknowledge that Gecko is Gecko.) While this seems cumbersome, it addresses a missing capabilty of the Cookie Manager. Sometimes, I want to view a Web site in a manner different from the way I usually do. This causes established cookies to be changed, making that different view now the standard. By backing up my cookies and having the script restore from the backup, I can restore my desired default view. -- David E.
