Firefox webextension API - Kill cookies

How to kill specific cookies using the webextension API?

I can fetch the cookies using - browser.cookies.getAll({domain: cookieDomain})

But to remove cookies, I require both the url and name,

browser.cookies.remove({name: cookie.name, url: cookie.domain})

And, domain cannot be passed to url parameter to remove. Also, I don't get the url from the cookie object.

Then, how do you remove specific cookies?

Thanks.

You should be able to construct the url by concatenating cookie.domain and cookie.path, and you get the protocol by checking cookie.secure:

const cookieName = cookie.name;
const cookieProtocol = cookie.secure ? 'https://' : 'http://';
const cookieUrl = cookieProtocol + cookie.domain + cookie.path;
browser.cookies.remove({name: cookieName, url: cookieUrl}).then(
    () => {
        console.log('Removed:', cookieName, cookieUrl);
    }
).catch(
    (aReason) => {
        console.log('Failed to remove cookie', aReason);
    }
);
