Clearing history when Firefox closes is a security issue that should be kept as clearing history manually after every log in is unnecessary which is why it was part of firefox settings, I would really appreciate less bloatware and keeping what I always used in settings. Omitting clearing history when firefox closes is a breach of security not an added security. Thank you, P.S. Please consider changes carefully before you make them or you may wind up with more of what isn't wanted or needed and less of what is wanted and needed.

Firefox drop down history shows about 85% favicon substitution for gmail entries. It is not the gmail favicon, it is a food blog I do not login to and only very occasionally read. It is a very random substitution.

Clearing cache, cookies and restarting did not eliminate the issue. All apps and browsers are fully up to date.

I only use Firefox so do not know if it happens on others. Also, it does not happen all the time, only about 85% of the time, sometimes within one session, as visible in the attached screenshot. The bottom 9 are gmail's and you can see it has chosen to substitute the gmail favicon for an unrelated food blog favicon, but the there are several gmail entries that display the correct google favicon.

It isn't a problem but it does make me feel less secure as it is a weird glitch. If there is crossover there, where else may there be identification failures? Is there any way to correct this? Thank you.

As of a few updates ago, Firefox keeps adding items to the drop down menu in the address box. It used to have all the sites I went to to check out headlines, but it started adding things I hardly ever use. For instance I went ONE TIME to the "no calls" registry to register my phone number, and for a month that was in that drop down menu. Another, I have a number of tabs that are always open, like the weather and local radar, etc. A number of them are now in my drop down menu. So, somehow Firefox decides to drop items that I go to EVERY DAY, and put in other things it likes, like the no-call phone registry link. I would like a setting that doesn't allow it to decide this. Or the ability to delete items it adds and say that I don't want these things in that menu. It's fine that it keeps all the items I go to every day, but stop dropping them to add the links to tabs that are ALREADY open in my browser.

I have the setting that reopens all my Firefox Windows and tabs when I close out of Firefox on, but I had to close them using the task manager to update some software, and it only reopened part of the Windows I had open! Can't you guys come up with a history option where you can see and select windows that were recently closed that clients can select and reopen from a menu when you can't select restore previous session? I mean, Chrome has that feature!

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to bring up my concern. So, I apologize in advance if it's not.

I volunteer with a domestic violence organization. The group's website (180NJ.org) has a "panic button" function where a DV victim could bail out instantly if their abuser confronts them. When you hit the "Safety Exit" button, it changes the page to weather.com and Google comes up in a new tab. This is so an abuser can't see what the victim was looking at, for the victim's safety. When using Chrome and Edge, the DV site is removed from the History. When using Firefox, it is not removed from the History. I've brought this to the attention of the organization's IT people and was told that this is probably due to differences in the browsers themselves.

I'm not an IT person myself and have no idea what's involved in all of this. But, I just wanted to bring it to your attention, in case it's something you can work out. Thank you.
