I want to be able to use Private Browsing but I don't want the browser to remember my login information.

Here's an example of real use case: I work in IT and I have to manage multiple web accounts for various sites. When I got to a site such as Office 365 it will log me in automatically with my own saved credentials - that's OK.

So what I've been doing is opening a Private Browsing window and websites such as Office 365 would prompt me to log in. However as of the last update when I go to most sites it remembers the last login I did via Private and automatically logs in using that.

Even if I log out and close the Private Browsing window, when I reopen a private windows and try to login it will again revert to the last login.

Is there any way to make Private Browsing act as if there is NO cache or login information stored for it to reference? Thanks.

If the Password Manager has that information, it is automatically filled in. There are two things you can do.

1) Remove the data for those sites. 2) https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-master-password-protect-stored-logins Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords

Are you using permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) or are you in regular mode and open a New Private Window?

All open Private Browsing mode windows share the same cookie jar. If you close a window and open a new window but do not close Firefox then this cookie jar isn't cleared and you are still remembered.

You would have start Firefox in regular mode and possibly use container tabs if you need to isolate tabs or windows or merely have this regular window to be able to close all PB mode windows and clear the PB mode cookie jar.
