I have been trying to get Firefox to clean up everything when I close it down,

It is so hard as if purposely a 1000 development team have worked on making it impossible.

When I close it down, it must be completely sanitised, no previous site visits, login names, passwords, suggestions - nothing.

And I should be able to achieve that with one button press, not have to go through a thousand individual settings.

I have now spent an hour checking and unchecking buttons, it is crazy. For example I go to the passwords, I have to delete each and every one individually. Maybe there is another screen somewhere, but when I want to interact with "Passwords" I naturally go to "Passwords".

And still, when I go to gmail, it autofills the gmail account! Where did that come from? I have spent an hour trying to make sure it deletes everything when it closes down.

And it should leave no trace on the PC. no temp files, nothing.

Hi

What happens when you browse using private browsing mode?

Hi,

I have not tried to use the private windows yet.

The reason is, when I run Firefox for days at a time, weeks even, with multiple tabs and windows open, I want it to be fully functional in remembering previous sites, "autofill", "passwords" etc

But when I close it down ( or shutdown the PC ) I want everything to have disappeared.

Exception might be screen position, fonts, colours etc.

  1. Click the Fx89menuButton menu button, then click "Settings"
  2. Go to "Privacy & Security"
  3. Scroll down and check "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox"
  4. Scroll down further to "History"
  5. Change "Remember Histroy" to "Customize History"
  6. Check "Clear history when Firefox closes"
  7. Click on "Settings" underneath it
  8. Check everything

Firefox should now delete everything when you close it, but I don't think there is an option to automatically delete your saved passwords.

You can set Firefox to clear session data like history and cookies via "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed", but you can't remove bookmarks and logins this way. You would have to disable the Password Manager and possibly set the Primary Password and cancel the PP prompt to prevent Firefox from saving logins.
