Firefox no longer remembering "Cookie Exceptions"
Have upgraded to Firefox 88.0 on Mac. Have also recently cleared history, but have reinstated the web sites where I want my cookies retained.
In the past, I could quit Firefox and when I next boot it, my daily sites like Yahoo and Ebay do not require password log-in since I have "exempted" them from being cleared on the previous Firefox quit.
I do use "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" - but this is where the exceptions should come into play.
Until just recently this all worked fine. Now it does not and am required to re-log in after a fresh boot.
Any suggestions? Thanks. - jr

All exceptions like cookie exceptions are part of the Site Preferences, so make sure you keep the Site Preferences.
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the Cookies
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
[X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
- clearing "Cookies" will remove all cookies including cookies with an allow exception you may want to keep
