Firefox cookies: How to read "Expires: At end of session" type cookies

Question

I am able to read the cookies from the sqlite db in firefox. However, I need to also read the cookies that are marked "Expires: At end of session" in the firefox cookie list.

It appears that these are NOT stored in the sqlite database.

Is there any means to read these programmatically?

Thanks, Elijah

I also want to do this and can't figure it out. They must be stored somewhere, since they are there if you recover a Firefox session. Closest thing I've found is: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/66579

which allows you to export them. But no dice programmatically.

Edit: Actually I figured it out. They are stored in 'sessionstore.js' as javascript in your firefox profile. A python example is:

true = True
false = False
s = eval(file('<path to firefox profile>/sessionstore.js').read())
s['windows'][0]['cookies']
