I’m so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?
@Weslee consent-o-matic, made by @midasnouwens https://consentomatic.au.dk. the one recommended below auto accepts them or blocks the notice, while consent-o-matic sends the legally binding reject signal.

This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.
Nice!
Been using this a couple of weeks and it is great. Looking forward to more add-ons like this coming to Firefox for Android.
Consent-o-matic automatically goes through the cookie banner and makes sure everything is disabled instead of simply blocking the banner
Strongly recommend this one. It’s also available for chromium, Safari, and iOS

One of those extensions recommended by Mozilla.
Doesnt this mean that you’re by default agreeing to the cookies though ? I’ve tested not responding to the pop up on several websites and they all write cookies if you don’t respond
You are right; I should have fully read OP’s post before advising.
In my case, all cookies (except the ones I marked as exception) are deleted when browser is closed. Note, 3rd party cookies are by default blocked on Firefox.
I found this to be right setup for me.
Sorry, for the confusion.
You can block popups by ticking the proper filters in ublock origion filter lists
This is it. Lots of complicated answers in this thread. It’s built into uBlock, just not on by default.
Remember to use Firefox containers, then you can accept all the cookies you want and they will never see outside of the container (you have to put the website in a container though)
It’s pretty laborious to do this for casual browsing though. The websites I visit regularly where it’d be worth configuring this aren’t the ones with cookies I’m worried about.
@furzegulo consent-o-matic, made by @midasnouwens https://consentomatic.au.dk. the idontcareaboutcookies one doesn’t do what you want as it auto accepts them or blocks the notice, while consent-o-matic sends a legally binding reject signal.
Why don’t you just clear them?
