If you have folders starting with moz-extension in there, you have extensions that use it and thus require cookie access. You can check the storage\default directory of the Firefox profile if extensions use indexedDB. The easiest way to get to the profile folder is to load about:support, and click on the show folder button on the page that opens. While some come with fallbacks built-in to overcome this limitation, it is best to address this head on instead as indexedDB usage is usually the better option to whichever fallback solution is used otherwise. Extensions like uBlock Origin, uMatrix, or Stylus use the storage and thus require cookie permissions even if they don't set cookies to work correctly. These extensions may break if cookies are blocked.
