document.cookie doesn't work for https://httpbin.org/cookies site in Firefox
I am using `Firefox 73.0.1 (64-bit)` Windows7.
`document.cookie = "name=value"` can't add new cookie in Firefox for this site `https://httpbin.org/cookies` but Chrome does.
I tried with latest Firefox installation with MacOS, it neither add a new cookie.
Could you tell me why? Thanks

The https://httpbin.org/cookies file appears to be a JSON file containing a cookies object. Firefox renders this page in a viewer rather than in raw text form. You may need to disable the viewer first before testing:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste json and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the devtools.jsonview.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false

Hi TinyFox, if you check the Web Console in the developer tools for that tab, does it mention any errors, warnings, or policy restrictions when the script in the page is run?

It only has this on the Console tab. Is it related to that problem I mentioned? I don't think so.

You can try with your browser, can you add cookie ?
