Delete cookies in Firefox after specific interval of time

Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

• Manually deleting cookies via settings in "Clear recent history" or via Options, Privacy, Cookie Settings

• Automatically deleting flash-cookies with the BetterPrivacy AddOn

• AddOns for Cookie-management in Firefox to be checked out:

  • Cookie Culler
  • Cookie Monster
  • Extended Cookie Manager
  • FireBug + FireCookie

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.

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.
