I see that Firefox can show us how much data (bytes) stored on disk by each site.

But, can Firefox show a more detailed information about it, i.e. the breakdown of how much is used for cache, local-storage, etc? And even further, can we delete/clear only one specific kind of them, e.g. "Only delete the cache, but retain the cookie"?

I see this feature in MS Edge as attached below, but can't find the same in Firefox.

I want to clear the data stored by several sites (Google and some sites taking up 800MB each). But I don't want to clear the cookie if possible, since I don't want to being logged out from those sites.

Have you looked at the storage tab in the inspector (ctl-shft-i)?
