MySQL? Perhaps you mean SQLite?

FF used to have an internal storage format ("mork" database) plus a 
cookies.txt file in a "standard" format for interoperability with other 
applications. They probably still have the cookies.txt file after 
migrating to SQLite, but I haven't checked.

What manipulations are you seeking to do that can't be managed within 
FF? If you do need to do something custom, chances are it'd be safer to 
do using the browser's APIs from an extension, rather than externally 
manipulating the database.
