User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:99.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/99.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open Tools > Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Manage Exceptions
OR: browse to about:preferences#privacy and then navigate to Cookies and Site Data > Manage Exceptions

Actual results:

The user is currently shown a list of Cookie and Site Data exceptions. The list has two fields: Website and Status.

Expected results:

I wish that in additions to the two existing fields, each row had also a user editable Description field.

I often have trouble remembering why I created a particular exception. This happens especially when the exception is for some cryptically or generically named website, or an IP address (I need a couple of such cookies for websites in my LAN).

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Preferences' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
