Steps to reproduce:

  1. Visit a domain that instantly performs a redirect to another domain based on cookies. Real-world example is aliexpress.com that always instantly redirects to aliexpress.ru if you logged in from Russian IP address at least once.
  2. Try to clean cookies using method described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-website-data-single-domain-android before redirect happens. Very hard to do on a fast internet connection.

Actual results:

Unable to remove the cookies for a redirecting domain.

Expected results:

There should be a way to clean cookies and site data without visiting the site.

Severity: -- → N/A

"Clear cookies and site data" is still broken in the latest release (version 112.0).

Leaving the user thinking cookies and site data were deleted is a big privacy issue.
I would suggest severity -> high.

And by the way, please include these two add-ons in the list of allowed add-ons:

Thanks!
