Is there any Firefox addon which will delete my all cookies after specific interval of time.

I do not want to block any site's cookie; I just want all the cookies to be deleted after every 30 seconds or 60 seconds.

Can it be done ?

Regards

By default firefox can be set to delete cookies after a set time, but it can only be set by number of days, if that is of use to you then you can do this.

Go to about:config

Set network.cookie.lifetimePolicyto to 3

and

network.cookie.lifetime.days to 1

You could also set

network.cookie.lifetimePolicy to 2 if you only want them to last the browser session

If you install and setup CCleaner to erase cookies you could also run it on a scheduled task with

CCleaner.exe /AUTO

I am looking for that too. What I have found so far:


I haven't found an add-on that gives you the choice setting of e.g. deleting all cookies every 10 seconds, or even that with white- and black-list exceptions.

The above about:config with e.g. 0.01 days or so doesn't work. Only full days.

In any case, I recommend using AddBlock+, NoScript, FlashBlock, BetterPrivacy, Ghostery, googleSharing, HTTPS-everywhere and maybe even still TrackMeNot. LongURLplease, WebDeveloper, FireBug and GreaseMonkey are fruther usefull AddOns.

Also you might want to look into MAFIAAfire, Gee!NoEvil! ThePirateBayDancing and/or DeSOPA.

  • Yeh, there is no addon which allows automation of cookie deletion after specific interval of time.

One useful utility is called BetterPrivacy and can do exactly this for Flash cookies. It doesn't do the regular cookie side of things though.

Try Cookie Time, an addon for mozilla firefox.

With some editing in its files (bootstrap.js, cookietime.dtd and options.xul) options can be added for even less than a day. Maybe that will help. Unedited, the shortest time period is a day.

Also, Self-destruct Cookies addon should help some if it is what you want. Also for firefox
