browsercookieerror "failed to find firefox cookies" #15

issue: browsercookie.firefox() was failing with the above message, while browsercookie.chrome() was working fine. All issues I looked up had to do with chrome rather than firefox, so I'm not sure what was broken. I'm on a mac, and I rarely use firefox, downloading it only today for specific testing purposes

Solution: profiles. In firefox, I deleted the "default" profile and made sure that the cookies I was interested in were in every profile. So if the browsercookie modules was looking in ANY profile, it would find it. So it did.
