Hello,

in man documentation I read:
Mozilla and Netscape 6.x.
Mozilla's cookie file is also named cookies.txt, located somewhere
under ~/.mozilla, in the directory of your profile. The full path
usually ends up looking somewhat like ~/.mozilla/default/some-
weird-string/cookies.txt.

But this is not true anymore as Mozilla changed the format to sqlite one (cookies.sqlite).
It would be very pleasant if you could adapt wget to use this format, eventually elinks cookie file format too.

If not, please update the documentation at least.

Thanks. You do a great job.

Lubos
