Automatic Clear History
I keep finding people answering this question with click here click there.
Clear browser on exit suppose to automatically clear history, this is a serious problem.
Why is this being ignored, this browser is no longer safe to use, clean install on Android phone
Yes, Android, not any other system that people keep telling me to check, and they talk as if the windows version is the same.
Has the team stopped Firefox for Android?
I give up now, need to use a safe chrome browser now

Hi John
Having set Firefox for Android to clear history on exit, what happens when you tap the exit option in the menu?
Quit is the only way to close tge browser and make sure it clears all, any other method wont clear anything.
Quit
Reload, history still there
Hi
Just to clarify, when you select exit, Firefox for Android closes, and when it reopens, your history is still there (even though you have selected it to be cleared)?
The text is Quit, not exit, this means your once again talking about windows 10 version
Ok.
When you select Quit, Firefox for Android closes, and when it reopens, your history is still there (even though you have selected it to be cleared)?
How many more times, its not a difficult thing to do.
Yes, the only thing i don't clear is cookies.

So to be clear, the problem is that the "Recently Closed Tabs" list is not cleared (other history entries are cleared). I have no idea why that isn't cleared, it is part of history. Bizarre.
I think the only obvious workaround at this time is to close all tabs, leaving a home page and the tabs box reading "0". In other words, make sure there are no open tabs at the time you Quit.
Edit: I did check the box for clearing Open Tabs on Quit, so I'm not sure there is any other setting for this.
Edit #2: Same behavior in Firefox Beta for Android.

There is an issue on file for this:

But you should do what you need to do to feel safe.
