Re: Remove All Cookies button on toolbar

Ok, this may help.

I found out that by making a button with an onclick for viewCookies(),
I can get to the Cookie Manager window and display all cookies.
From there all I need is to press the 'Remove All Cookies" button and
I'm home free.

This is now a two clicks process. Good, but not great.

So if anyone got an idea of whatelse to put to make the whole process
a single click, please let me know.

Actually, let me know if you're even reading this. What if I'm alone
in the forest again and nobody is hearing me?
