What options must be selected to mimic the Firefox "Clear Data" settings #45

Firefox 100.2

I had a problem with the Walmart website not loading, just a momentary flash of display, then a blank page, except for something regarding images on the lower left of the screen, what you normally see when a page is loading.

I went to the Firefox support forum and it was suggested that I clear my cache and cookies, which I had already done with your addon (Data Types selected: Cookies; Cached images and files, and reload active tab) but it did not remedy the situation.

The "Clear Data" option in Firefox settings fixed it.

What are the options I should be enabling in "Clear Browsing Data" to achieve the same results?
