Hi,
At the beginning I'd like to say that FireCookie is great extension
and I don't want to use anything else to check cookies in Firefox :)

I would like to propose some enhancement:
I'm working on few projects on the localhost and I have also some another
tools/application on the localhost: e.g. phpMyAdmin

It could be good to show only these cookies, which are associated with some
tab.
Example:
- on the Cookies tab I have all cookies from localhost, some of them has
path '/phpmyadmin/'
- is it possible to match this path to URL (host/path - e.g.
/localhost/phpmyadmin/) and show these cookies only if strings match to
each other?
- on Firebug tabs liked to another pages I'm getting info that some of
phpmyadmin cookies had changed
- it mess my console :(

I described one example I met.

It could be very nice to have that feature :)
You could add an option (switch) to enable this feature..

Best regards,
Tomasz Kuter

Filter cookies by path (+using wildcards) has been already requested (see Issue 4). I
agree this looks like very useful feature.

So, if I understand correctly you would like to use the domain/path filter for two
things:
a) Filter list of cookies in the Cookies panel
b) Filter cookie-logs in Firebug console

One question is how much persistent the filter setting should be. I guess you would
like to specify it (see the UI proposal in Issue 4) for a given web-page and keep the
value across page reloads. However if you close the page the filter is lost and you
have to specify the next time again. Would this work for you?

Just to notice that, in the meanwhile, you can also use the search box within
Firebu's tab bar (on the right side) to filter the cookies list.
