     This function reads the current/live collection of cookies from
     the Firefox browser. One can specify which cookie database to use.

     profile identifier.

                       con = dbConnect(SQLite(), cookieJar),

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

cookieJar: the name of the file containing the cookies

     con: a connection to the database. This is a parameter to allow an
          existing connection to be reused.

    copy: whether to copy the cookie file. This is 'TRUE' so that we
          don't have issues with Firefox locking the file.
