I don't use standard Firefox since they started enshitifying

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.

The Firefox forks I use probably do, but they also have purge on by default, so I don't think about it. I don't want any website to know anything about me unless I explicitly log into my account. I would probably feel differently if every website wasn't constantly trying to suck up all my data all the time, but they've used up all my good will so it's scorched earth they're getting from me.
