i have followed this but no result

Firefox will => choose "Use custom settings for history"

Make sure that "Always use private browsing mode" is unckecked.

Check : "Remember browsing and download history"

Check : "Clear History when Firefox closes"

To the right : click "Settings" and check only "Cache" (nothing else, unless you want to check "Form and Search History" too)

Profile data can be removed or not recorded in several ways;

  • 1) Running Firefox in Private Mode (nothing is recorded)
  • 2) Privacy settings; (In the address bar,
    type about:preferences#privacy<enter>)
  • 3) Many disk cleaners and anti-virus type programs can remove data from browsers. Open their settings and have them leave the browsers alone.
  • 4) Mal-ware.

Note that you can create a cookie allow exception to keep cookies for specific domains if you "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed".
With this choice you keep cookies with an allow exception unlike "Clear history when Firefox closes" that remove all cookies including cookies with an allow exception.
