Steps to reproduce:
- 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.
- 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:
- Cookie AutoDelete: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
- Cookie Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-cookie-manager/ (or any other cookie manager)
Thanks!
