I don’t use standard Firefox since they started enshitifying, but looking at it, it looks like they basically sandbox each website so that they can’t see each others cookies. If that solution works for you, then go for it! But every website you visit is still leaving those cookies, and I’d personally rather purge them all and start fresh each session so I know there’s no funny business going on.

Any Firefox forks should have this option; even Chrome (and Chromium) has it.
All a website with only first-party cookies can learn about you is “I’ve seen this user before”, which is only an issue if you’re worried a news site or something is trying to discern your private information from the articles you read, but for me the convenience of first-party cookies is worth it. I can see why you’d keep them disabled though.
This is in the default (Standard) Firefox anti-tracking settings
