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!

    I wish the fork would not have chosen the same name as a previous engine…

      to be fair; at the point they name it fennec, it was a pretty sensible name. when mozilla then changed the codename they could either keep name recognition or match upstream, and they chose the former

      it’s a dumb name now, but i think they made the right choice at every juncture
