CCleaner might have a problem with the SiteSecurityServiceState.txt file, we have seen reports about this. SiteSecurityServiceState.txt stores HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) data about secure connections.

What CCleaner does and clean is up to how the software is configured. What is the issue your having with the trackers?

Firefox itself is a web browser and not a search engine, a website nor a tracker.

Is it about tracking cookies or something in the Cache?

Also CCleaner should not be allowed to clear anything in Firefox as. CCleaner has been known to cause issues when allowed. The Firefox web browser can clear its own stuff just fine.
