    I just left my job (yay! freedom! money is for suckers) and realized I forgot to clear cookies on my PC. I can call an (ex) coworker and have them do it maybe, but I'd feel safter if it could be turned off somewhere in officially. Is there a way to make it so that the cookies on that computer no longer allow login to Google services? Reddit might be nice, too.

    As pointed out in this Web Applications Stack Exchange answer, you can change your Google Account & Reddit passwords to prevent any one else from accessing your accounts from your former office PC.

    On a computer (and not mobile device), log into gmail. Once inside, scroll down to the bottom of the page and on the right-hand corner you'll see "Last account activity" and below it the word "Details." Click details and a window will pop up with a tab that says "sign out all other sessions" click that and your done signing out of every location you may be logged in.

    They are in an SQLite database in the "Application Data" folder. On my Windows 7 system:

    C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\g47mlt1n.default\cookies.sqlite

    There is a place to look at the cookies Firefox has in the options window. In Firefox 3.6, under "Tools", "Options..." and in the "Privacy" tab, there is a section about cookies with a button labeled "Show Cookies". You can see the cookies organized by site, search them, and see details about them.

    If you have firefox webdeveloper toolbar, I highly recommend it in case you don't.

    Simply go to the bar,click cookies, and view cookie information. It's much better than going through the actual files
