I have settings set to clear (selected) data when I "Quit" Firefox. It had been working fine, but suddenly stopped (a few updates ago). It's really starting to bug me. Any ideas on how to get this feature functioning again (I've already tried turning off and back on)?

Try to reinstall It (Your Firefox Browser).

Uninstall/reinstall worked for the initial problem, but created another: now "Quit" doesn't close open tabs, so when I re-open the browser it opens to the last tab (that didn't use to happen). I double checked my settings... Any ideas?
