How to Clear Cookies for a Specific Website in Firefox 60 or Newer

When you visit a website in your browser it stores cookie files in a temporary folder on your computer. As you may know, they serve for your browser to “remember” what pages you visited and what action you did on that particular website.

For instance, you don’t have to put in your username and password each time if you keep cookies. All browsers have an option to clear cookie files – you click on a button and all of them are being deleted. But here is how you can delete cookies for a specific website in Mozilla Firefox without affecting the others. 

It is advisable to delete such files for untrusted or dangerous web resourses, for example, those that tried to install malware to your PC, initiated a file download that you did not request or contain a lot of intrusive ads or pop-ups. Don’t forget to check your computer for malware using AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes after you purge its cookies.
