Does FireBox use any cookies?

Yes, it sets cookies in the following two cases.

Visitor ID Cookie
A cookie with the name "fpfid" is used to identify uniquely each visitor.

• The value of the cookie has a unique ID for each visitor
• Does not exchange information with other cookies
• Does not transmit any data to a third party app

This cookie will only be stored in the visitor's browser if any of the following requirements are met:

This cookie lasts for 24 hours and is recreated once expired.

Close Event Cookie
A cookie in the form firebox_ID is set every time a popup is closed. Typically is used by the plugin to decide if a popup should stay hidden. This affects popups that have the Behavior > Closing Behavior > "If the user closes the popup" option enabled.
