Cookie Explorer is a new feature that was added to MPR v2.4 to help you to navigate through the Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey stored cookies. To start viewing cookies, you'll have to show a full path to your Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey profile folder (a folder with the cookie.txt file in it).
Typically this path should look like this:
Mozilla or SeaMonkey: C:\Documents And Settings\%USERPROFILE%\ApplicationData\Mozilla\default\%PROFILEFOLDER%
Firefox: C:\Documents And Settings\%USERPROFILE%\ApplicationData\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\%PROFILEFOLDER%
