Functions

func Firefox

func Firefox() (*cookiejar.Jar, error)

Firefox reads Twitter/X cookies from the default Firefox profile on the current machine and returns them in an http.CookieJar.

Firefox stores cookies in plain SQLite (no encryption), so no password is required. The function copies the live cookies.sqlite to a temporary file before reading it, because Firefox holds an exclusive write lock on the live database.

func ReadFirefoxCookies

func ReadFirefoxCookies(dbPath string) (*cookiejar.Jar, error)

ReadFirefoxCookies opens a Firefox cookies.sqlite file (or a copy of one) and returns the Twitter/X cookies in a jar.
