This keyboard shortcut will open the "Clear All History" dialog box in Firefox and the "Clear Browsing Data" dialog box in Google Chrome. From there, you can select the time range for which you want to clear cookies (such as "Everything" or "All TIme" to clear all cookies) and then click the "Clear Now" or "Clear Data" button to clear the cookies.
