After either erasing a specific cookie, erasing all cookies or using any add-on (i've tried cookieculler and selectivecookiedelete) to erase specific ones, the cookie(s) is/are erased. However, the menu in FF itself and in any cookie-managing add-on keeps listing them with value and everything as if they're still present and were not erased at all.

Also, a minor detail is that, when erasing a cookie, it shifts to a nearby position in the list and is replaced by a different cookie. They just fly around at random or something, totally inexplicable and unpredictable. It's clearly shown in the video at the url

Note that the interface in the video indeed says "no cookie selected" when i select the parent folder of a cookie (which makes no sense, it'd take hours that way) but opening the folder itself and selecting the individual cookie has the EXACT same effect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the privacy menu, "show cookies" dialog
2. select any cookie (or none)
3. erase it (or erase all)
Actual Results:  
The cookies are erased from the browser, but the menu keeps listing them with value and all as if they were not erased at all. Any cookie-managing add-ons also keep listing them in any cross-combination of erasing and checking the list with one and the other. Upon erasing, the affected cookie is also randomly replaced by another nearby cookie and re-ordered in some bizarre way (see video at the url)

Expected Results:  
The list should have been emptied or the selected cookie erased from sight, as would be expected when deleting any or all cookie(s).

Nothing special about my computer that can affect FireFox or even cookies for that matter

I say again: the video shows me selecting the parent folders of the cookies, but selecting the cookie itself has the exact same effect as for the deleting, the not-disappearing from the menus, the bizarre re-ordering and so forth.
