We'll have to see what happens but what you are talking about is what Mozilla calls Third-Party Cookies and... they are aware of it.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/third-party-cookies-firefox-tracking-protection#:~:text=Third%2Dparty%20cookies%20are%20cookies,considered%20a%20third%2Dparty%20cookie.

I can't entirely tell if that means they will be put in the facebook cookie jar or if it will be put in the TentaclePorn Dot Org (don't go there, it is probably a real site and probably horrifying) cookie jar. If the former? Then only facebook themselves have that which... is still a lot better I guess? If the latter then that is basically exactly what we all want but a lot of sites are gonna break (par for the course with Firefox but...).

TentaclePorn Dot Org (don’t go there, it is probably a real site and probably horrifying)

It's registered through namecheap and points to cloudflare, but there's nothing behind cloudflare. It just times out. That was disappointing.

The cookie would go to the Facebook or tentacleporn cookie jar depending on which site the user has actually visited. Whatever the domain in the address bar says.
