It's no longer possible to delete unnamed cookies. Why? It always was in the past.
I have no other problems deleting individual cookies. Some sites drop unnamed cookies on a computer. I was always able to delete them in the past. With the newer versions of Foxfire it doesn't matter how many times you delete unnamed cookies. They go away when you delete them but they are always back the next time you look.

Hi riplongley, I don't know how to explain 5 cookies for one or more sites that do not have a displayable host name (e.g., example.com). Perhaps there is a bug in the Manage Site Data dialog that can't handle certain host names.
I wonder whether any of the cookie management extensions could provide more information about the site(s), or whether we might need to suggest how to query the cookies.sqlite database directly.
Did you want to look at extensions? https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?q=cookies&type=extension
Note that the data manager is this window:
- chrome://browser/content/preferences/siteDataSettings.xul
Involved JavaScript:
- chrome://browser/content/preferences/siteDataSettings.js
I can access this window and each of the lines in the Browser Toolbox, but that probably isn't of much help.

SiteDataManager.getSites().then(sites => {this._sites = sites; ....}
_removeCookies(site) {
for (let cookie of site.cookies) {
Services.cookies.remove(
cookie.host, cookie.name, cookie.path, false, cookie.originAttributes);
}
site.cookies = [];
},
