clear history is not working

I have used Firefox for years and have always set the Privacy tab to "Clear history when Firefox closes". Tonight for some reason it started not working. After closing Firefox I can open it up again and am signed in on all my websites. As you can imagine, this is kinda startling. How to fix? I just realized this started happening pretty much moments after I installed QuickTime, I don't know if this is related.

Try to manually clear history.

Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

Make sure that Firefox closes properly.

See "Hang at exit":

See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":

I'm not sure if "hang" is the right word, but occasionally Firefox will not close after I click "x" and no matter how long I wait to start a new session, I get a message that tells me it's still running. I have to open Windows Task Manager to close it manually in those cases. This was simply that the Privacy settings were not working the way I had them set up for years. After I turned my computer off last night and on this morning, it seems to be fine now.

That is a hang if you get a message that tells that Firefox is still running after you've closed Firefox and want to restart it.
