I generally have a “home” Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to “lose” it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

      Are you talking about completely wiping the session?

      For example, you open a private window (say, session 1) and bookmark sites while in session 1 to refer to later in the same session. Upon closing session 1 the behaviour you expect is for those bookmarks to be deleted. However in session 2, the bookmarks you created in session 1 are persistent?

      I don’t think you understand what tracking means. If you have an issue seeing your bookmarks then you should delete your bookmarks and not create them in the first place. Same goes for your history, just disable it entirely if you don’t want that feature. Neither one have anything to do with tracking though.

      @PeleSpirit @DarkThoughts not sure if I understand this correctly, please excuse if what I write is beside the point. History and bookmarks are independent. History records whatever site you visit, according to your settings. Bookmarks are different, they are created only if you take action for each bookmark (like using the star in the URL bar or hitting Ctrl+d). They are easily deleted.

          @PeleSpirit you can totally not record history, or delete it automatically every time you close the browser. Also, it isn’t sent to anybody, except if you ask to sync it between browser, then it is encrypted, unreadable for anyoone but you and unshared. (Same for bookmarks sync.) You can totally erase bookmarks : open bookmark window, choose them, erase. I don’t know how to erase them a automatically when the browser closes. That is because bookmarks are designed to keep between sessions.
