I cannot delete cookies. I delete them, then when I click 'show cookies' the delted ones are back? Mac PBG4, OS 10.4.11, Firefox 3.6
I want to delete cookies. I follow all of the instructions and the cookies are still there when I open 'show cookies' the next time.

Are you using an extension like TACO that creates opt-out cookies?
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
The cookies are still there after doing what you describe. Should I restart Firefox after deleting the folders?
There are 2 files "action.js" and "view.js" which do seem to be opt-out extensions
Thanks
If you have an extension that adds such opt-out cookies then you can't remove those cookies unless you uninstall that extension. Having those opt-out cookies permanently is the purpose of such an extension.
