Total Cookie Protection doesnt work with firefox extensions?

more options

Hi,

If i understand correctly, firefox has total cookie protection enabled by default i.e. cookies are not shared among sites. I can see partition key is being set for the cookies which helps in maintaining cookie jars.

I am just curious to know if these cookie jars exist for firefox extensions also? For example, from a specific add-on if a certain cookie is set for demo.com then i dont see any partition key associated with it. Does this violate total cookie protection? And is this a bug or a special feature that firefox extensions can utilize?

In case its not clear from my original question here is example scenario,

Lets say i download add-on XYZ which has iframe for abc.com and abc.com sends some cookie in response. Now this cookie is accessible globally and not limited to scope of the add-on. Isnt this violating Total Cookie Protection where third party cookies are not allowed.

You should set TTC to default and disable any Addon cookie blocker and verify your first able to access the site without issues.
