Default How To Check If a Cookie is Being Dropped Correctly?

I'm wondering if there is a way to verify by some sort of means to check if a cookie is being dropped?

I've heard of Firefox extensions that makes this possible, but i don't which one?

I need to check when i visit a site if my cookie is being dropped correctly into the visitors browser.

Suggestions are welcome

Thanks!

Click on the link then:

In firefox go to Tools>>Options>>Privacy>>Show Cookies and look for the cookie that was supposed to be dropped.

What I usually do when I am investigating cookies is to use Netscape.
Since FF is my normal browser and I have lots of cookies I don't want to mess with. I clear all cookies in Netscape, then go to the site in question fresh and click a link and it's super easy then to see what cookies were dropped.

Course if it's your own site it's different and you probably know what cookies are being dropped, you just want to dblck. But I've used Netscape before to see if an affiliate is cookie stuffing - if I clear all cookies, then hit a site I can see ALL the cookies that were dropped on that site.
