I see that Firefox can show us how much data (bytes) stored on disk by each site.

But, can Firefox show a more detailed information about it, i.e. the breakdown of how much is used for cache, local-storage, etc? And even further, can we delete/clear only one specific kind of them, e.g. "Only delete the cache, but retain the cookie"?

I see this feature in MS Edge as attached below, but can't find the same in Firefox.

I want to clear the data stored by several sites (Google and some sites taking up 800MB each). But I don't want to clear the cookie if possible, since I don't want to being logged out from those sites.

To do what your asking if FireFox doesn't have it would be Addon for FireFox that would do what your asking if they have them on the FireFox Addon site.

Have you looked at the storage tab in the inspector (ctl-shft-i)?
