I have FF set to accept only 1st party cookies and keep them only until I close it. I use it now only in Private Browsing mode. I delete all cookies before I close it, yet when I re-open it, there are few hundred of cookies "preloaded". How do I get rid of them permanently and stop new from setting themselves in?

I already tried that and it doesn't work either.

Do you have an extension like TACO (Abine) or TrackerBlock that maintains a set of OPT-OUT cookies?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
