How do I make sure my Mac doesn't have Google cookies even after utilizing Firefox preference tools?

Last week for a short time Firefox was requiring me to enable third party cookies when visiting sites that previously didn't require 3rd party cookies. I contacted the sites and they never required 3rd party cookies to be enabled. I did detect and delete a Google cookie through Firefox preference/privacy routines.

Was there an interim release that fixed this in Firefox since I'm not required to enable 3rd party cookies? Can I be confident that I don't have undetected Google cookies in my Mac?

Thanks, Tim S.

Google made some changes to their website last week, which were reverted a few days later.
