Cookie AutoDelete is good on the desktop. It can delete cookies when you quit Firefox, when you switch to another domain, when you close a tab... It's fun.

deleting cookies on close, with exceptios for sites, is a feature that is build into firefox, no need for an extension

if you use librewolf there even is a small toggle for keeping cookies so you don't have to visit the settings every time you want a new site to remember you

Cookie AutoDelete can do that for specific web sites that you choose in a white/black list. I always allow PieFed even when I restart, Google is in the default black list.

as i said, if you use the whitelist and don't need cookie deletion on tab close, there is no need for an extension

i used cookie autodelete too until i discovered this feature
