Firefox does NOT clear data on exit and leaves everything logged in

Hello all, I recently returned to Firefox after a long hiatus due to multiple problems. Some things are better, but the most important issue on android persists:

I have it set to always e in private browsing and to always clear everything on exit. I am definitely hitting "quit" from the menu to close the app, not just swiping it away. When I reopen it, I am still logged in to everything and nothing is cleared.

I have tried: Clearing cache and data Turning this setting off, restarting, turning it back on Force stopping the app both before and after exiting Reinstalling

I'm on a oneplus n30.

I have also tried manually clearing everything from the settings, then exiting, and it still leaves me logged in and doesn't clear everything. I have found threads from folks for years dating they've had this issue, but have not found a solution.
