I would have liked Firefox more and sooner, if under History/Clear History When Firefox Closes/Cookies, the following was put on the page instead of just Cookies: "Cookies Including Allowed Sites." It is reasonable to presume that Managed Permissions protects cookies under all conditions, but this is not the case. Confusion in this area has caused me a fair amount of long term frustration and wasted time, and it was easily avoidable with a tiny bit more detail on this Options page.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.
