Close out all tabs when I close the app from recently opened apps menu.

more options

I just got the new update on android, the way it used to work is if I look at recently opened apps (the button that brings up all the open apps, and you can close them all or slide them off to the side to close them), and close firefox, this would clear all the tabs. Next time I opened the firefox app I would have no tabs open, it would be clear and ready to go.

Now, there is no way to do that without selecting the "clear browsing data on quit" option, and having "tabs" toggled, then quitting with the 3 dots on the navbar and choosing quit.

Can we get an option to do it the old way? It was quick and easy to close the app like that, then I don't have to be annoyed by like 4 random tabs from that time I googled some stupid random info, and then just closed firefox. I want a fresh slate when i reopen the app.

Also, annoyingly, when I use the in app quit option it still sits in the recently opened apps screen, so for the sake of my obsessive app closing, notification clearing self, I have to use options to quit, then open the recently used apps page, then clear it there as well. All to accomplish what was done very easily before.
