    TL;DR: Mozilla were already blocking third-party Cookies, so the ad industry started making webpages redirect to their domain (so that they could set a Cookie as first party).
    Now Firefox will also automatically delete first-party Cookies that are known to be tracking Cookies.

    This excludes Cookies from webpages where you might legitimately be logged in, like Google or Facebook.
