Site entries in the Firefox 'Manage Cookies and Site Data' settings screen do not get auto removed when cookies are auto deleted.
For example, say you visit 'www.example.com' and the browser accepts some cookies then they will show up in the Firefox 'Manage Cookies and Site Data' settings with a Site of 'www.example.com' and a Cookies entry of (say) '5' as expected. When you close all Firefox tabs for 'www.example.com' (or close and reopen Firefox) then the cookies are deleted as expected, however the Site entry in the 'Firefox Manage Cookies and Site Data' settings is not removed and neither is the Storage value set back to zero. The Cookies value changes from say '5' to '0' but 'www.example.com' remains. This may be by design however I feel it would be useful to also have the Site entry removed from the list. Hope this makes sense.
