How to clear cookies from Firefox 3.5 and above

I am a little bit surprised that in the new Firefox upgrade ( Firefox 3.5) Mozilla team hides the option to delete cookies from the main bar. I was trying to not upgrade my Firefox browser to Firefox 3.5 but due to the lack of enough security updates I forced to upgrade. In the earlier position of Clear Private Data in Firefox is now changed with Start Private Browsing. So in a nut shell in the main menu we cannot see an option to delete the stored cookies in Firefox 3.5.
