Recently transferred from Chrome. My understanding was Firefox private browsing was supposed to work similarly to chrome incognito mode; once you close the browser, all local files are deleted and cookies are cleared.
However, with Firefox it maintains my logins. If I log into an account while private browsing and the close the browser, I’ll still be logged in next time I go to the website even if it’s days later (and I have never logged into this account in a non-private browsing window!)
I never had this issue using chrome incognito, so it seems to be a Firefox problem.
Is this just not something Firefox supports? Is there any way to prevent storage of cookies and private data?
