Untested (3rd Google hit for "import firefox cookies python"):
http://blog.mithis.net/archives/python/90-firefox3-cookies-in-python

At a minimum, I think you'll need to replace:
from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite
With:
import sqlite3 as sqlite

You'll also have to figure out where Firefox's `cookies.sqlite` file
is located on your system.

Cheers,
Chris
