Data storage on my local device

I'm not sure what has changed within Fierfox for it to IGNORE MY CHOICES for deleting all browsing or temporary cached info when I close the browser.

I didn't give you permission to store cookies on my local drive... So why aren't you clearing my temporary cached files when I EXIT the browser... It used to be "0" now the closest I get is "14k"... Why won't you delete that 14kb???

You toot yourself as a browser that safeguards peoples browsing history etc...

It would be better if you JUST CAME CLEAN and fessed up to your lies!!!

Cookies, local storage or web content cache?

Cookies and Local Storage

To see what sites set cookies or used local storage, click the "Manage Data" button. What sites are listed here that are not open?

Web Content Cache

Firefox downloads files to cache for the built-in Firefox Home / new tab page, so even if the cache starts out empty, those files might be fetched quickly. To check what is in that 14kb, you can:

Type or paste about:cache in the address bar and press Enter to load the page.

in the "disk" section, click the "List Cache Entries" link to show what is in there.

Any unexpected sites?
