Cookie AutoDelete – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox Android (en-US)
addons.mozilla.org
Download Cookie AutoDelete for Firefox. Control your cookies! This WebExtension is inspired by Self Destructing Cookies. When a tab closes, any cookies not being used are automatically deleted. Keep the ones you trust (forever/until restart) while deleting the rest. Containers Supported

In my desktop Firefox I use Cookie Autodelete to keep a whitelist of sites whose cookies won’t be deleted. All other cookies are deleted as soon as all tabs for a particular site are closed.

Android’s Firefox, from what I gather, only give you two choices: delete all cookies upon quitting (not tab closing), or save them across sessions.

Unfortunately the extension above does not work on Firefox Android, and I haven’t found any other alternatives.

Do you know of any alternatives or other solutions, to get a behaviour similar to the desktop one? (And also: how come that extension is not supported on Firefox on Android?)

Cheers!

    also @[email protected] thank you! I had no idea about this possibility and these Firefox forks. Looks a little complicated but I’ll try it. From what I gather, Firefox plans to bring back full extension support in the future?

      I feel like it’s been around the corner for years now. I just gave up waiting and switched to fennec on fdroid (which is just Firefox with telemetry removed and a few nightly features enabled, more or less.)

      They most likely will but that’s something I’ve been hearing about for years.
