Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

login to various sites at my domain, e.g. mail.mydomain.org, abc.mydomain.org, test.mydomain.org ... correspondingly get session cookies for each of the sites.

delete cookies for one of the sites, e.g. abc.mydomain.org via Preferences/Options

Actual results:

firefox revokes/deletes ALL cookies for the domain (mydomain.org) for ALL sites e.g. mail.mydomain.org, abc.mydomain.org, test.mydomain.org ...

Expected results:

only cookies for e.g. abc.mydomain.org are being deleted.

Version 66.05 behaves as expected.
Deleting cookies via storage manager works as expected.

Happens independent of OS (Ubuntu 16, 18, Windows 10 at least).

Hi,

apologies for being unclear. mydomain.org is just a dummy name, assuming that you can have access to multiple sites within a domain. I can't provide test pages. I just tested the nightly version and it works as expected, so please consider the issue resolved.
