Firefox for Android Community Forum

I'm having trouble breaking down the specific behavior of fingerprinting protection for the 3 settings levels.

According to the Windows release notes dated 1 October 2023, "Additionally, you can choose whether to block Suspected Fingerprinters in all windows or just in private windows", but also, "To disable Fingerprinting Protection and return to the default settings, simply select "Standard" or "Strict"

In my reading, these two statements conflict. I'm under the impression that "known fingerprinter" blocking is always active, even on standard. Does enabling "Strict" enhanced protection also enable "suspected fingerprinter" blocking, and if so, is it active on all windows or only in private browsing? Does that mean we need to use the "Custom" setting to enable suspected fingerprinting blocking in all windows?

My question is the same for Firefox for Android 131.0, except in the mobile app's case, the release notes contain even less detail - so I could also be off-base there. TBH I am probably missing something obvious, so if anybody can even point me in the right direction I'd be grateful!

Thanks for any insight anybody can provide!

I put in firefox as a browser. I have problems with Google Chrome. It insists on knowing anything I do. It won't allow me any privacy. Has become a nightmare with it. I have been scammed by a lot of its play store apps, and by Google it's self. Can I do anything without it interfering with anything?? It has taken over my firefox browser, and it has to have all my bank info and game info. Even if I purchase things, it has stopped them from going thru, and hid texts sent to me from my bank. It's like it's a virus, it won't let me enjoy a game or do anything without warning on putting firefox in and it stopped my emails when I made it my default, plus it stated I wasn't allowed to purchase anything if I didn't go thru it. I won't give it my card, cause I make a purchase and it either won't go thru or I have extra amounts taken. I hate Google and it either it gets away from me or I'll throw this in the river! And I don't want to hit the share data, button. Cause u then, might not receive this. I disabled while I sent.

How do I set private browsing as default on android device? Prior suggestions only work on laptop. Nothing here suggests setting as default, I've gone through all the options.

Moderator note: This question has been moved from the Firefox Desktop forum to the Firefox for Android forum.

I have set Firefox to delete all data on quit. It does not. Details of closed tabs are not erased. I would be happy for no browser history to be saved but this does not seem to be an option.

Using up to date software on samsung s23 ultra.

I'm trying to remove over 500 passwords saved in FF, I removed it on PC and it disappeared from all connected Win clients. But I can't remove it from Android - they are still in FF & Lockwise. Tell me then, why sync works between Win clients but Android client ignores deletion of passwords?
