The FAQ
Q: Why would I need this?
A: If you are a web developer and work with cookies a lot.
Q: What's difference from native Cookie Manage?
A: The main diffirence is that this extension edits and adds cookies not just displays them.
it also has a handy filter feature, you can filter for a specific host in the cookies list
and the search result will be saved even if you close the browser.
See Screenshots.

The Long Story
Q: Why do this?
A: Show the Story
The need for this appeared at one point when I need to edit cookies on the browser end to test image verification system.
I looked all over the web but there was not any editor that would allow me to edit session cookies, which was understandable since session cookies are stored in the browser memory and removed upon terminating the browser. And no browser, I knew ofm allowed you to edit cookie data, not even Konqueror :-D.
So I turned to MozDev to see if anyone has made such extension. But alas even there solution was not found. One project (cookiemanager) started to develop such extentsion but it did not take off. So after 3 days of research at XulPlanet, perusing Mozilla Docs, and digging into the mozilla source code, Add & Edit Cookies Editor was born. I would like to thank the owner, Ruslan Bondarev, of the above mentioned project for generously offering his work to build upon.
