There are cookie exporter extensions that you can use to export a cookie.txt format file that can be used with wget.
Alternatively, you can create your own. Cookies are viewable in Options / Privacy / remove individual cookies
. You can find the cookie you are after and create a .txt file containing the information:
domain - The domain that created AND that can read the variable.
flag - A TRUE/FALSE value indicating if all machines within a given domain can access the variable. Say "true"
path - The path within the domain that the variable is valid for. Use / for any url
secure - A TRUE/FALSE value indicating if a secure connection with the domain is needed to access the variable. Use false to allow http://
expiration - The UNIX time that the variable will expire on. Set something far in the future
name - The name of the variable.
value - The value of the variable.
So one might look like this for example:
.domain.com TRUE / FALSE 4102358400 SESSIONID dfjdfkjsjwere090fusfdkljf

The Export Cookies extension for Firefox seems to work fine.
