Text entered in search fields using the Firefox Focus browser is still allowed to contribute to the iOS custom dictionary. This may lead to a breach of privacy as telling words commonly used within the browser may then be suggested by the outside of the private browsing session when another user enters text into the device.

Though the custom dictionary can be cleared through iOS settings, it would have to be done repeatedly as the dictionary relearned undesired words.

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers. Since no one has answered your question I've escalated this to the Help desk.
