It seems like Mozilla is using the same cookie format as Netscape (good!). It
also seems like the cookies are written to the file immediately. This would mean
that libcurl can use these cookies?

Example:
# HTTP Cookie File
# http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
# This is a generated file! Do not edit.
# To delete cookies, use the Cookie Manager.
