I discovered two cookies from Yahoo, named B and AO. They cannot be removed by normal means. How can I get rid of them?

I use Firefox 10.0.2 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8. I discovered this problem when deleting cookies from Yahoo in response to an announcement on the Yahoo site that was tapping into my position, even if I was not connected to Yahoo. All the other cookies for Yahoo, I was able to remove via Firefox preferences except for the above two. I would appreciate any information available as to what these cookies are for and how Yahoo could prevent me to delete.

Of course, the cookies.sqlite file has been altered as trying to delete all cookies from the Tools menu doesn't lead to a possible script error asking me if I wanted to leave the script running or not. I then deleted cookies.sqlite with the only other files cookie, that I could see, cookies.sqlite - shm and cookies.sqlite - wa.

After you exit and restart Firefox, Yahoo's two persistent cookies were gone. Thank you.
