How to clear cookies

When you clear your cookies in Firefox, all data that is saved by webpages onto your system will be erased.  For example, if you selected for a website to automatically log you in, it will no longer do that since your login information is no longer stored in that specific cookie.  However, clearing your cookies is a good way to speed up your system, since you likely have thousands of irrelevant cookie files saved onto your computer's hard drive.

To clear your cookies, click on the "Tools" option in the toolbar at the top of your browser window.  Then click on "Options."  A window will appear, and you’ll want to select the "Privacy" option at the top of that window.  Around the middle of that same window, you’ll see a button that says "Show Cookies."  Once that button is selected, another window will appear, this time with a list of the cookies stored on your computer.  To remove individual cookies, select them and then press "Remove Cookie."  If you wish to clear all cookies, press "Remove all cookies" at the bottom of the window.
