Private windows feature not working

I have firefox configured to always run using private mode by default. However sometimes i need a new private window with empty localstorage, sessionstorage and cookiejar etc. For example if i want to sign into a website with two separate accounts such as an email client. However, recently, when i click "New private window" and within it navigate to a website I see my preexisting session from my original firefox instance. In the case of the email client this means I can only log in using a single account with the firefox browser. Currently I have to open another browser such as chrome or edge to solve this issue.

Is this expected behaviour or is there something wrong with my local setup?

Thanks

When i open certain websites, the font is displayed cryptically (see picture).It doesn't always affect the whole website, just some texts on the side. I found a workaround by disallowing websites from using their own fonts in the settings. But neither a new installation of firefox nor resetting the settings, caches an cookies, etc. helped, or disabbeling the firewall etc.. In other browsers or when i log in my account on other PC´s everything is displayed properly.

Several years I logged into an extended family member's computer, accidentally sync from another browser and now this folder has been following me around. The thing is it's full of some really gross things. Mostly extreme right opinion pieces and just so much porn. I really want this folder to go away, but when I right click it the delete option is grayed out. I've tried deleting them one by one, but everything I close the window and reopen it again, all of the links are back. How do I purge this from my mozilla account?

I'm having problems with message board posts, and they said the problem was browser related rather than on their end. And I don't really have the vocabulary to look up a solution, so I'm asking here.

When I'm writing a post in a text box-- and I don't know if it's supposed to be called a text box, but it's shorter than "that box at the bottom of the thread where you type your post and then hit enter"-- if I go to a different page, when I come back, the text box is (inconsistently) blank. Everything I was writing is gone.

This was not the case up until a few days ago. If I needed to, say, post links to a bunch of threads, I could go to each thread in turn, copy the URL, and then back-arrow to the page with the post-in-progress and everything would be there waiting for me. I could be fifteen pages out from where I started, but as long as I used the back-arrow, it would be fine.

Like I said, I made a bug report on the message board itself and they told me "That's not a function of site, it's a function of your browser. If it's changed, it's because your browser has updated (or an extension is interfering)". I also talked to a friend to try to narrow down the problem and he came up with "it's probably a cache issue".

So where do I go from here to try to fix things?

In the past, when I click on the "history" tab I have several options for viewing my history, including the ability to view all my browsing history for as long as I've been using Firefox. Today I went to search for a download and discovered my settings have changed so that the only options now available to me are "Today," "Yesterday," and "Last Seven Days."

I don't know what happened to change my settings, though I did notice last week that I had to re-enter my passwords on several sites that I regularly visit.

How to I change the settings on History so that I have the option to view my entire browsing history again?

I have a windows 10 desktop. I use several different browsers including Firefox. When online and searching for a site, I choose only https//: sites. However, I am getting an unsecure warning when I click on them. It opens the sites in private mode so why do they not open in regular search mode? Also sometimes when I am in a https//: site I trust & have been to before, the links receive an unsecure warning too. How do I fix this?

HI, I had a PC crash and I am now unable to use my old Installation, so I reinstalled Windows anew. Before that I could save some stuff.

I have saved the whole Firefox Profile Folder and the Installation.

Now I just copied the Key3 and Key4 + logins.json Files to my new Profile Folder (places, booksmarks, etc too) but nothing will be applied.

What do I have to do to get my old stuff back? Especially my Login Data and Bookmarks? Why does this not work anymore? Is it due to different Versions? Although I am pretty sure that my old FF was up to date. Is there a Log File?

Also I have an old logins.csv, but it has corrupt/incorrect symbols in it.

I want to clear cache and cookies. I hit Ctrl-Shift-Del. This presents various options of what to delete.

One thing I do not want to delete: Firefox has somehow learned the URLs for some oft-used websites. For instance, maybe I visit microsoft.com frequently - and Firefox automatically suggests the rest of that URL, as soon as I hit the letter M. (I would also like to know how to teach Firefox to behave that way, for various letters of the alphabet.)

It seems that, if I make full use of the deletion options available via Ctrl-Shift-Del, Firefox deletes those oft-used URLs along with everything else. So then I have to type the full URL, until it relearns that entering M probably means I'm going to microsoft.com.

How can I clear cache and cookies without losing those remembered URLs?
