Firefox 3 stores cookies in a sqlite database, so the common practice for authentication
Bug.
won't work anymore.
We need to find a way to handle this new cookie format in py-lp-bugs.

Proposed fix which when specifying a cookies file that ends with 'sqlite' will securely create a temporary file with the cookies extracted from sqlite, and uses cj.load() on this file. Cookies extraction based on Kees Cook's script.
