FireFox - How do you delete cookies/cache on closure?

Marzipanogram · 7 May 2017 at 21:20

How do you set FF to wipe cookies/cache etc when you close it?

In Options - Privacy and History section, I've only ticked "Clear history when FireFox closes".
Everything within the History section of that dialogue box is also ticked. But nothing in the Data section.
So it should delete everything when it closes.

But, after I close FF and open CCleaner and look in the Options tab and under Cookies.
All the cookies for sites I've visited are displayed.

I can easily run CCleaner to delete cookies/cache, but I'd like FF to do it.
I've refreshed FF and even reformatted Windows (not because of this issue).

Thank you

Surely you should tick everything under the data section as well? Some site preferences are kept as cookies too.

EDIT: Some addons can do it to but most of them don't seem to be e10s/web extension compatible so when FF57 arrives they will stop working.

Does FF have a incognito mode, Would it not be easier to use that if it does?

Thanks for the replying. Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, due to some FWittery by others I was banned.

Ticking everything under Data, deletes my saved cookies too.
Incognito Mode now works fine, before I reformatted it didn't.

Problem solved.
Thank you.
