For windows xp the location is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xyz.default where xyz is some random-appearing string.

As you must know the you have to unhidden the Application Folder first to reach the xyz.deafult cookie file. To make it Unhidden go to tool>folder options>view> Show hidden Files and Folders or simply copy paste the above pah in address bar till \Application Data .

You should be able to edit your cookies from notepad, but since they are all in one text file, it is easier to delete your cookies from firefox itself.
Tools->Options. Then, select the Privacy tab. You'll see a button called "Show Cookies". On the Cookies dialog that comes up, you can remove the cookies one by one. It doesn't allow multiple selections, unfortunately. That would speed the process up.
