Is there a way to set Firefox to automatically clear private data upon exiting the app?

Right now I am clearing private data manually because there doesn't seem to be a setting. Firefox has this option on many other devices.

Right now, there is not. There is only the ability to clear private data from the settings menu found by tapping on the gear icon.

There is however a way to do this if you only browse in private tabs.

"Close Private Tabs" - when leaving private browsing. <--- toggle that preference.
