Is there a setting for firefox to prevent sites editing the expirery date of cookies that have already been created, I've been editing cookies to expire in a month rather than a year but they keep being re-edited back to a year if I visit said site (which also includes mastodon through web interface unfortunately).

You can install CookieAutoDelete that will manage your cookie settings, and set it go delete cookies after specified period of time. You can test it out for a month duration

@nikolal I don't want to delete them, I'm happy to leave it up to firefox's garbage collection, I want a way to lock a cookies expire time and prevent that site editing it back to the original expirery time.

once a cookie expires firefox won't send it therefore the site can't know of it nor edit it, but it won't necessarily be deleted right away unless necessary.

@Codeawayhaley Yes, I understand now what you want, but nothing crosses my mind how to solve that.
