Yahoo (my email provider) has told me to try clearing my cookies to fix a glitch. I went to Firefox 3.6 Tools\Clear my history and checked ALL the boxes and then the Clear Now button. But all the cookies are still there. ?????? Can you see what I am doing wrong?

Am I correct that there is no downside to clearing all the cookies, that they (somehow) get regenerated on boot? Or do I have to be selective in my clearing?

Thanks. Will try.

But is it ok to delete ALL the cookies, or not?
