Comment (by cypherpunks):

 From the FAQ at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-
 destructing-cookies/

 Q: The add-on does not work in private browsing mode.
 A: Some parts of Firefox are off-limits for add-ons while you are in
 private browsing mode. This includes the cookie jar for example. There's
 nothing I can do about this, sorry.

 Tor Browser uses permanent private browsing mode by default, so this
 extension would be useless.
