Details

Currently, the browsingData implementation clears storage based on the host associated with data. E.g. the browsingData.removeCookies implementation checks cookie.host at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/2c991232499e826e46f9d976eb653817340ba389/toolkit/components/extensions/parent/ext-browsingData.js#111-112.

In bug 1646215, there is an effort to change the storage clearing logic by also removing data from other host names as long as they are associated with the storage partition of the specified host (visual example: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1646215#c3).

We should probably do something similar for the browsingData implementation. If needed for backcompat or feasibility of implementation, we could introduce a new host property (bug 1632796) for this.
