Thanks! Now I will really be able to test the extension and post back.
Also, does it matter whether I am logged in to a website when saving cookies to prefs.js? Or does the extension strictly keep Cloudflare-related cookies only?

You're welcome, back2themoon.
I don't know (if it matter), I can't test this because I'm not logged into any site that uses Cloudflare verification.
The add-on saves all existing cookies in Pale Moon for that page, at that moment.

Did a few quick tests. I confirm the extension will also retain and restore the user login, if logged in. For any website really, not just those using CF checks. So, the user will need to carefully assess whether they want their credentials stored in prefs.js as well.
I am amazed by the speed gain honestly! It practically eliminates the Cloudflare wait. Actually, I am even tempted to use your extension as a sort of cookie manager, for all my logins (I have several). But I guess it's not really meant for that, and there is not much to gain for non-CF websites.
So, well done again tellu-white! I highly recommend this extension to anyone dealing with several websites using the sluggish Cloudflare check. It will save you a lot of time, if you tend to clear cookies often.
Just remember that it can also save your login info (username/password). So:
a) If you want the extension to save/restore your logins too: Pass the CF check, login to the website, Save Cookies with the extension.
b) If you don't want the extension to save/restore your logins, and only want to bypass the CF check: Pass the CF check and Save Cookies with the extension. You can log in afterwards if you wish.

Thank you, back2themoon, for explaining the difference between using the add-on to simply bypass Cloudflare verification, compared to using it to bypass Cloudflare verification followed by a login. It will be really helpful for users who have accounts on websites that use Cloudflare verification.

Am I correct in assuming these CF cookies are also somewhat tied to the user IP? So, if that changes they'll probably not work any more?

Yes I'm pretty sure they are both IP-coded and time-coded.
