As my phone is sometimes used by others for net surfing, I don't want my website history to be displayed as standard. Is there any way of: (1) setting a different screen when logging on to Firefox, i.e. not website thumbnails (2) making 'clear private data' a permanent setting instead of/as well as a one off (3) enabling the removal of individual website thumbnails from the sign-on page (4) making the websites whose thumbnails show at sign-on user definable and permanent. If none of these is available, may I request that they be incorporated into the next release? I chose Firefox over Chrome precisely because Chrome has this display of recent websites at sign-on and Firefox didn't; and what has Mozilla done? - incorporated the one feature I avoided Chrome for! If a new feature is to be added, at least make it switchable instead of imposing it on all users regardless of whether they want it or not.
