Thank you for helping us test Cookie banners handling! Foxfooding is important for getting wider feedback for new features- and we need your input! It also gives you the opportunity to check out our newest features before they release to the public.
What is Cookie Banners Handling?
Firefox now clears these annoying cookie banners on your behalf. We’ll always hit “Reject all” if we have that option though in absence of a “Reject all” we’ll do what you’d do otherwise and hit “Accept all”
Please help us test new features and give feedback on Cookie Banners handling! Join us in #foxfooding in Matrix to get more updates.

Important note:
Cookie banner handling works with a list of domains. Only domains on that list will get automated handling regarding their cookie banners. The domains covered are on this list that was built as a mix of top sites for top countries on Firefox. We intend to grow the list as time grows and welcome feedback on unsupported sites that should be added to the list.
