Intelligent Tracking Prevention

"Self-Destructing Cookies" is an extension for Firefox that automatically deletes cookies 30 seconds after you close the last tab associated with a site, unless you put it on a whitelist.

It is the most sensible and useful policy I have ever seen. Sadly, it can't be done as an extension in the new Firefox model.

That one looks great, it even supports the new container tabs with per container whitelists.

Pale Moon is lacking security wise, maybe waterfox is a more suitable alternative. Also Waterfox author plans to fund a startup to fork the firefox to support XUL and go from there: https://www.ghacks.net/2017/03/13/waterfox-dev-has-big-plans...

Yes it can see here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autode...

The only thing it can't do yet is delete local storage due to the API not being implemented.
