Summary

>From Firefox 109, we intend to ship a feature that partitions Storage in
third-party contexts regardless of whether or not the third-party context
has Storage Access.

To prevent cross-site tracking, Firefox has partitioned third-party storage
and cookies by default. Websites that want to access the unpartitioned
storage or cookies can use Storage Access API
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Storage_Access_API> to
acquire Storage Access from the user. However, the scope of the
unpartitoning is not clearly defined, and different browsers have distinct
behaviors. We would like to align our behavior with other implementations.
So, we change to always partition third-party Storage regardless of Storage
Acess. The change can help with Web compatibility and not impact user
privacy.
