In Tails 0.22~rc1 the stored cookies don’t appear in the Cookies window.
To recreate:
Access any site that will store a cookie, such as your login information.
From the top right of the TorBrowser or iceweasle click on Cookie Monster icon. It’s on the far right, next to the Home icon.

Then select “View Cookies” -> “Show Cookies for All Sites”
Cookies window will open but it’s empty even though the cookie is stored now.

Won’t this be fixed in time for 0.22? Problem didn’t exist in 0.21.

> Won’t this be fixed in time for 0.22?

If updates to Torbutton or to the TorBrowser patch set fix this, then
it’ll be fixed. Else, it won’t. Stay tuned.

I acknowledge this is an annoying regression, but it does not break
any of the Tails design goals, so I doubt it’ll be treated with
high priority. Help is welcome :)

As far as I understand, this is a user experience regression, but it is an understood issue caused by an API change in Firefox 24. It is track by Tor on this ticket:

Let’s close this ticket as upstream has resolved the issue long time ago.

Hmmm… well, the buggy window was removed, which indeed “solves” the problem, but does not give users the desired feature back. Anyway.
