This is one of my old article about clearing cookies on Firefox browser when Mozilla team updated the browser from a very common layout to a more complex layout. Since it is one of the most linked posts on this blog, I do not delete the old content but just improving the article with information about how to remove cookies and browsing history from latest versions. Right now it is very easy to find and delete saved private data with history from the current versions. Steps are:

  1. Press [Alt] [T] button together and click on clear recent history
    Remove cookies from current version of Firefox browser

  2. On the "Clear All History" window select cookies and click on clear now
    Delete saved cookies from Firefox


I am a little bit surprised that in the new Firefox upgrade ( Firefox 3.5) Mozilla team hides the option to delete cookies from the main bar. I was trying to not upgrade my browser to Firefox 3.5 version but due to the lack of enough security updates, I forced to upgrade. In the earlier position of Clear Private Data in it is now changed with Start Private Browsing. So in a nutshell in the main menu, we cannot see an option to delete the stored cookies in Firefox 3.5.
