Q: 

Force Firefox to drop SQLite lock from cookies.sqlite

I'd like to delete certain Firefox cookie. The problem is I'd like to do it when Firefox is open. When I try to access the cookies.sqlite I get the database is locked error. Is there any way I can force Firefox to drop the lock without closing firefox?

A: 

Nope. Not that it matters since just deleting it out of the database will not change the program's run-time behavior (short of causing logic errors upon update perhaps) since all cookies are stored in a hash table. The database is just to keep cookies across sessions.
