Both Opera 10 and Safari 4 properly display cookies in realtime. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Preferences > Privacy > Use custom settings for history > Show Cookies... 2. Visit http://stevepiercy.com/_cookie.lasso No cookie displayed. Correct. 3. Click set cookie. Cookie displays. Correct. 4. Click delete cookie. Cookie remains. Incorrect. 5. Click set cookie. An additional cookie is displayed. Incorrect, sort of. Actual Results: For each click of delete cookie, the cookie remains displayed. For each click of set cookie, an additional cookie is displayed. Expected Results: For each click of delete cookie, the cookie should be removed from the list. For each click of set cookie, a new cookie is displayed. Closing, then reopening the Show Cookies window will refresh the display. However that is inefficient and it removes any Search filter.
I just saw this too, Vista SP2, FF3.5.2. I would say that either 1) the list shouldn't dynamically update to add new results OR 2) the list should handle removes the same as adds, and have them dynamically reflected. #2 is probably best from a user-expectation perspective, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't easier to implement.
I can confirm this exact bug, using very similar steps as steve. I'm a little sad to see that it was reported a year and a half ago and hasn't been officially confirmed yet.
Oh, I should have mentioned .. I'm using FF 3.6.13 on Mac OS 10.6.5
Still same in v48.0 (Windows 7)

The cookies manager is gone.
