Access firefox cookie.sqlite Error

Question

When I try to access cookie.sqlite found in my firefox profile folder, I get this error:

sqlite> .table Error: database is locked 

What do you think is the mistake?

[Changed] After I close firefox and read, I get errors like this

 Unable to open database "cookies.sqlite": file is encrypted or is not a database 

[Decision]

I used sqlite instead of sqlite3

Answer 1

It looks like you are opening it with an old version of sqlite . Use sqlite3 .

Answer 2

a recent firefox update (3.5 → 3.6) brought another sqlite repository change, now sqlite> 3.7.0 is required
