Cookies - Donald - Jan-24-2019
Hallo,
this code to read Cookies from FireFox runs without error, but without result. In the console it shows cookies.
import sqlite3
import os
cookies = 'c:\\users\\xxx\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\xxx.default\\cookies.sqlite'
try:
conn = sqlite3.connect(cookies)
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("select host, name, value from moz_cookies")
for row in c:
host = str(row[0])
name = str(row[1])
value = str(row[2])
print (host + ': ' + name + ': ' + value)
except Exception as e:
if 'encrypted' in str(e):
print ('encrypted')Thank youregards

Don't use catch all except (i.e. using general Exception).
at the moment add else part to the if in the except
except Exception as e:
if 'encrypted' in str(e):
print ('encrypted')
else:
print(e)I guess there is some exception that you shadow and don't see it.EDIT: yes, I get "unable to open database file"

@buran,
thank you, but there was no hidden exception.
I used Python 3 for Windows, of course with the correct UserName and Profile. For "places" I get access to the database.
regards

Hi,
Done the same thing : with result!
Try these field names in the table : moz_cookies
'select host, expiry, creationTime, lastAccessed from moz_cookies'
The date format is epoch-time, and make sure you truncate to 10 positions to get a sensible date.
(At least that is what i found)
