Websites using cookies despite being on "Block" list; websites also being removed from Block/Allow list seemingly at random.
Hello, I have been aware of this issue for about a month now. I have, for example, added 3 sites to my "Block" list under "Manage Exceptions" in "Cookies and Site Data". They are not only repeatedly disappearing from the exceptions list without my input (which I suppose is the bigger issue), but even when they are present, the websites still end up storing cookies and site data for the session. These sites are Wikipedia, Bing, and DuckDuckGo.
In addition, I've also added a finance website to the "Allow" list, as the browser is set to delete cookies on quit. This website has also repeatedly disappeared from the exceptions list without my input.
My version of Firefox updates regularly via the Linux Update manager. I am also wondering if the "Forget about this site" option in the History menu generates this (at least to me) unexpected behaviour. I would expect that using the "Forget about this site" option would delete site data, cookies, and history, but not remove it from my Cookies exception list...

I have confirmed that the removal from the exceptions list is caused by using the "Forget about this site" option in the history menu, I see now that it includes preference clearing related to the site, though I still think this shouldn't be the case by default. The issue with cookie-blocked websites forcing cookies through (especially Bing, and doubly so Wikipedia) is still present however.
