I am using firefox on linux since ~10 years. Currently running latest FF on Kubuntu. I always had setting set to forget all cookies and session details except of search history on exit.

Since approx 2-3 weeks (latest update?) those settings don't work. FF remembers everything regardless of settings I chose.

Does anyone have idea why this is happening now and how to fix it?

It's a good catch.

Which version of Firefox are you using?

I always checked "Always use private browsing mode" in History so cookies and site data are deleted after closing Firefox.

Hi,

Could you please check this in a new Firefox profile? It should be enough to sign in on any website, exit Firefox, reopen it and see if you are still signed in.
