Cookie doesn't see any Firefox cookies
-
Another piece of the puzzle falls into place: going to the Removal pane of Cookie 5 and selecting not just Tracking Cookies and Non-Favorites, but also Cache, Webpage Previews, Form Values, Downloads, Website Preferences, and Other Search Engines allows the greyed out non-favorites to be removed. Presumably they were in the Cache for the most part. Now to find out if I can finally stop nationalpost.com from tracking me!

This is still messed up! I have refreshed Firefox and slowly set it all up again. Done another delete of the ~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5 folder (this time exporting and re-importing my favorites). It seems to be working with Safari, Vivaldi and Brave, but with Firefox no new unwanted data shows up in the menubar dropdown (no bold text, no numbers in the brackets after data type), and the Cookie 5 window shows all my selected favorites greyed out. None are browser extensions. Some have the number 2 in brackets after them) but on clicking on the reveal triangle each with a number says it contains one cookie and one generic data file. A couple of hours of browsing has resulted in no change to this list. Yes, I've moved Cookie 5 into the Full Disk Access pane a couple of times by dragging from the Apps folder, but no change. What's up?

@SweetP I just created a new profile in Firefox and it didn't help. Still no changes in the Cookie window. I've also cleared all cookies and the cache in Firefox, but the Cookie window still shows the same greyed out favorites, some with a number after the name. Here's a screenshot with some of the 'reveal' triangles clicked:

any chance you could export your profile and send to me at support@sweetpproductions.com

@SweetP Still no new cookies showing up in Cookie. Nor after a restart. And just for fun, I've had to use Safari to add this as Firefox refuses to let me log in here ("Login Unsuccessful
We were unable to log you in, likely due to an expired session. Please try again")Later: cleared the cache, now it works and I can log in.

Trying again after a break. I have deleted all cookies from Firefox, and then refreshed it again from the troubleshooting page. Now Cookie 5 shows no cookies at all in the Firefox pane, after visiting several sites. It's as if Cookie just can't read Firefox's cookies.

So whilst Cookie was being agnostic about Firefox having any cookies at all, I decided to remove, once again, ~/Library/Containers/com.sweetproductions.Cookie5, having first exported favorites. This time after redoing the setup Firefox had lots of cookies, and some of them non-favorites! This was hopeful, so I browsed a few sites, and unwanted data started showing up in the Cookie menu, and cleared after selecting Remove Firefox Unwanted Data - hurray!
I'm very relieved. I set up various other browsers in the last 24 hours but none would suit as well as Firefox.
So for anyone else with the same problem, clear all Firefox cookies, refresh Firefox, trash Cookie 5's pref folder and set it up again. It might work....
