I preferred chrome cookie control over Firefox after switching. (I have had to compromise with umatrix to fill this feature gap.) Very granular control for each cookie where a cookie can be allowed, temporary, or blocked. I went through my entire list of cookies once, 400 at least and started perma blocking all those I didn’t recognize. It was beautiful. I can’t do the same in Firefox. I’m not feeling very good about this move where third party cookies are isolated by website. There are lots of websites separated across multiple domain names sometimes unrelated. (Sharepoint, office 365) they will have difficulty. And then there are special login websites and others like dish network telling CNN you have a subscription with them. This breaks. And creates a predetermined list of who can do what.

If I understand your description correctly, you can definitely do this in Firefox also. Preferences/Privacy & Security/Cookies and Site Data.

  That would be under "Cookies and Site Data". There are two options: Manage cookies (which only give option to remove cookies) and Manage Exception (which require you to manually add domain names. This is not usable for massive cookie block list.
