Firefox Android on Nexus 7 (2012) does not clear history/private data on quit even though I have it set to do so.
I checked for updates for the Android version of Firefox and I have the latest version. I changed the settings to clear privacy data on Quit but it does not work, history still shows when I reopen Firefox. Any suggestions?

Found the problem. Previous Android version of Firefox did not have a "Quit" option to close the browser. I had an add-on called 'Quit Now" installed. Latest Android version now seems to have its own Quit option which now shows up. I uninstalled the "Quit Now" add-on and when I close Firefox with its Quit button the history is cleared. Others having the same problem should check their add-ons under Tools to see if they have the "Quit Now" add-on. I only caught the solutions after seeing 2 different Quit options.

Are the items bookmarks? If you swipe to the left are the items listed in the bookmarks tab?
I have very few bookmarks and it doesn't matter if the items in history are from bookmark or direct entry they don't clear from history unless I manually clear them.
