How exactly did you clean the cookies?

I was under the impression we treated "clear cookies" as "wipe storage" because most of our users won't understand the difference between the various APIa.
I use the FF command to clean the history: navigation, form, cache, cookies...When I restart a new session nothing inside the localstorage.

Ah.  Yes, clearing "cookies" via that UI clears various cookie-like things including localStorage, by design.  See comment 3.
