recently closed tabs

Good day,

I noticed that the "recently closed tabs" hustory remains available even after quitting firefox, when quitting should erase history.

This is counterintuitive. I would like quitting to clear also the recently closed tabs.

Would you like to consider this for the next version update?

Thank you for your work. I appreciate what you do a lot!

Best regards

Hi Enrico,

To clarify: do you have "Clear history when Firefox closes" checked (with "History" selected)?

I've been able to reproduce the issue in the latest Nightly and filed a bug for it. Thank you for reporting!

That's all we can do here, unfortunately. I can't share a timeline for the fix, since it's up to the developer team. Please note that there are also some other bugs with recently closed tabs.
