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?

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.
