Cookie manager not working in Tor browser

[juhiyu]

Hellos, i use tor browser for long time and used cookies manager plus but important features like adding cookies doesnt work for me.

Can anyone test this and see if they also cannot add cookies?

[vanowm]

Mm...CM+ doesn't work with Tor at all, not just add cookies.

[juhiyu]

Thx for fixing it quick...i will test it when it is out

[vanowm]

It's might be a while. I'll wait for more changes in the code before submit it to AMO. The only change relevant to this issue was in chrome/modules/coomanPlusCore.jsm

[juhiyu]

ok no problem, no hurry

[juhiyu]

Hellos, just tested it still does not work for me when trying to add cookies

[vanowm]

Works fine for me.

Although the creation date is incorrect, but that's browser's issue.

[juhiyu]

Are you using the latest version of Tor browser (6.0.1)? I'm on Debian x64

For me CM+ 1.11.2 doesn't show any cookies for any site. When I click search: github.com on CM while logged in there are no cookies at all (showing 0 of 0) and adding a cookie manually also doesn't show up in headers either.

[vanowm]

Yes, I'm testing it on latest version on Win 10 x64

Enable debug loggin by changing extensions.cookiesmanagerplus.debug to 7 in about:config and look in browser console (CTRL+SHIFT+J)

You might need restart browser, if the problem is still in coomanPlusCore.jsm

It looks like the cookie is added and immediately deleted. Perhaps it's some privacy settings in your browser or other extension that interfere. Would you be willing try CM+ with all other addons disabled, so we can rule out other extensions interference?

Note, CM+ can't see cookies from windows in private mode.

[juhiyu]

I'm running Tor browser in its default state with default addons (https-e, noscript, tor addons) so no additional privacy settings are modified on my end.

I do feel it is something to do with private browsing as that was my thought when I filed the issue.

Also noted that despite having cookies like being logged in on github even native tor browser cookies viewer shows no cookies. But when I add cookie via CM+ it appears in the native viewer (even though it doesn't show up at all in headers)

[juhiyu]

EDIT: I just tried it and CM+ works if I modify the default settings and using custom Firefox privacy settings:

Don't tick - 'Always use Private Browsing mode' or 'Clear History on exit' Tick Remember browser history, search history, accept cookies from sites, accept third party always, keep until they expire.

Using this CM+ looks to work as expected. So I am 99% sure it is to do private browsing. Though, I am not sure how your CM+ works in Tor browser default settings

[vanowm]

Yes, indeed it's private mode. I just reset Tor's settings to default and indeed it deletes cookies as soon as they created. This is not CM+ issue. Unfortunately I can't find any useful information how to access and manage cookies from private mode windows.

It's not Tor related though, so no point in keeping this issue opened.

[juhiyu]

So what does this mean - you need to find a way so CM+ can access cookies in PB mode or need to file bug with Mozilla to implement a way to do it?

edit: found this bug report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=823941

[vanowm]

I suspect PB mode is meant to be private and there is no API to tap into it, otherwise it would be pointless for it to exist in the first place.

[vanowm]

I guess I'll keep this issue opened, until a way access private cookies is found.
