From Help:

> Remove All Websites: Removes all websites from the list.

Cookie Manager has changed from the traditional Cookie Manager to the Data Manager.

The Help is now incorrect.
And there is no method to 'Remove All Websites' in mass.

(A couple work-arounds, though hardly sufficient, & I suppose it is OK to use, would be to exit SeaMonkey, remove the file /cookies.sqlite/ from within your Profile directory, then restart SeaMonkey.  This should create cookies.sqlite anew.  Another work-around: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=10923827#p10923827 )


This should probably be DUP'd to one of the many Data Manager related bugs.  Perhaps, Bug 666098 - Data manager should show all information for non-domain (asterisk) category.

The workaround is to select Cookies on Tools/Clear Private Data (or to have SM automatically do this on application shutdown, use Edit/Preferences/Privacy & Security).

I wonder whether this is a duplicate of bug 597993.
