Cookies and Firefox

It is bit mysterious the way FF stores cookies. It stores them in cookies.txt in Documents&Settings/User-Name/ApplicationData/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles folder.

A Sample looks like this:

# HTTP Cookie File
# http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
# This is a generated file! Do not edit.
# To delete cookies, use the Cookie Manager.

At times, we need Javascript to create cookies and manage them - more so when you are working with AJAX. So, refer to this article by PPK. It is useful.

Nasty Firefox 2/1.x ActiveX Error

Ever since I upgraded my FF to 2.0.x, I was getting nasty ActiveX Error which goes like this:

"active x error:
could not create the control {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}. Check that is has been installed on your computer and that this page correctly references it"

Fortunately, this tip saved my day. All it took to fix the errors was to update the npmozax.dll.

Anyone can download this from dlldump.com.
