Issues with Firefox's website data settings

████████

I think Firefox’s two separate settings for website data are somewhat confusing and redundant; “Custom History” under “History” involves and duplicates the functions of “Browsing Data,” and “Browsing Data”’s “Clear cookies and site data when Firefox closes” I want to simply achieve allowing cookies to be saved only for a few specific websites and clearing all other data on exit. Edge can turn off “allow sites to save and read cookie data” and directly add exceptions, and it also has only one option for choosing what data to clear on each close, which is more concise and clear enough. If possible, I hope the technical staff can make changes to this, preferably by referring to Edge’s conception for this part.

"Sites can now be exempted from having their cookies and site data cleared on shutdown without also being exempted from tracking protection and other cookie restrictions."
