 Replying to [comment:5 gk]:
 > Thanks for tracking this down. So, to be sure I understood you
 correctly: that option is buggy once you leave permanent Private Browsing
 Mode (PBM) (because I don't seem to be able to enable it within PBM)?

 Yes.

 > Yes, I think you are right about that. I suppose your proposed features
 does not work in vanilla Firefox either right now?

 Pretty sure it's not in vanilla Firefox. I know that the add-on Cookie
 AutoDelete provides something of the sort, but I have to admit that even
 in vanilla Firefox, I have no use case for keeping site data for longer
 than a session. Riot is the only use case.
 In the short term, it might be a better approach to make the Riot desktop
 client more Tor-friendly.
