How do I clear browsing data while managing exceptions?

Firefox Cookies

Before closing Firefox, I go to: Privacy and Security, Clear data for specific sites, remove the sites I don't want. Then I go to Clear Browsing Data and check two boxes: clear Browsing and download history and Temporary cached files.

In spite of that, I see 50 - 100 MB in Google. I don't want that.

Therefore, I went to the Manage Exceptions list and added all the sites that I want to keep cookies and site data. I checked Save Changes. (Google is included in that list.)

However, if I return to Clear Browsing Data & Cookies, check Cookies & Site Data, then Clear, Firefox deletes all the sites stored in Managed Exceptions, too. It's not supposed to do that.

Questions: 1. How do I prevent that from happening? 2. Should I remove Google from Managed Exceptions list?

Please advise. Collis

So the first part of the question is you want to delete Google data but don't want to delete Google data, correct? Well if you want to get rid of the bloat you'd have to delete it unless you're familiar with database tooling and are willing to take it apart manually across all the three storage type APIs and figuring out what "subset" of that you wanna keep while nuking the rest.

The other part, is the issue that any site data/storage for domains in exceptions gets removed, or the actual list of entries in that list gets removed?
