Firefox keeps restoring deleted history on my cell phone.This option is not available to me in settings: To prevent Firefox from restoring deleted history after a closure or crash, disable the "Open previous windows and tabs" setting in Settings > General under the Startup section. Also, about:config does not work on my cell phone.

Hi! On Firefox mobile, some settings like disabling "Open previous windows and tabs" or using about:config aren’t available. To stop Firefox from restoring deleted history, try these steps:

Clear your history and cache fully from Firefox settings.

Make sure Firefox sync is turned off or check synced devices aren’t restoring history.

If the problem persists, consider reinstalling the app to reset settings.

Unfortunately, Firefox mobile has limited options compared to desktop. Hope this helps!
