User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 Build ID: 20170504175505 Steps to reproduce: - Configure firefox to always start in private mode - visit some site, which sets cookies - Find cookies list with: Ctrl-i -> Security -> Show cookies Works as well with private windows, where it shows the non-private window's cookies. Actual results: Empty cookie list (so you cannot delete them either), while obviously cookies are sent. Expected results: list of cookies set in the private context is shown.
Component: Untriaged → Private Browsing
Developer tools have the same problem.
I could reproduce the original problem with Page Info -> Security -> View Cookies; the cookies are also missing from the about:preferences#privacy -> "Show Cookies". I could NOT reproduce the problem with developer tools? I saw all the cookies in the "Storage" panel of Developer Tools on the page load. Marking P3
