I know I'm a noob but I can't find my cookies folder for IE or Firefox. Can somebody tell me how to locate either or both?

Thanks..

Not sure why you'd need either of them, the "clear private data" in Firefox works wonders for me :).

Cookies, History, Passwords

Firefox stores your cookies in the automatically generated file cookies.txt under your specific Profile folder; your viewing history is saved in the file history.dat; and your saved login and passwords are kept in the file signons.txt file in the same folder. You can view the contents of all of these files using a text editor like Windows Notepad, however most of the contents will not make much sense. Username and passwords in the signons.txt file for example are encrypted for security purposes. If you want to back these up, I strongly suggest backing up your entire profiles folder, rather than these individual elements, as there are several other files which are required to make a profile function correctly.

If you simply want to import cookies, history or username/passwords from Internet Explorer at any time, you can once again use the Import option under the File menu in Firefox.
