does not delete data when exiting the program

Hi. Why, when I manually delete data (cookies, data, history), it deletes it thoroughly, and when the delete option is active when closing the program, it does not delete all data? The settings for manual and automatic options are the same. As a user, I didn't realize Mozilla was telling the truth. R.G. Daniel

Hi

What makes you think that data is not being erased when you use the exit button?

The wp.pl website pages have a click counter. When I manually delete data, I can click again as if I hadn't done it before. Unfortunately, after closing FireFOx and reopening it, automatic removal doesn't work. The wp.pl website counter knows that I have already been here. The conclusion is that some data is not deleted, despite the same set of the same data scope for deletion. I discovered this on FireFox Android . Daniel

Hi

Whereabouts on the page can I find that counter...?

Hi. You need to enter the press article by clicking on the photo with the title Most articles have a rating at the top of the vote. The wp.pl website has statistics in this way.

Are you using the Quit (Zakończ) menu option?

I do not use the end command on my phone. And I don't know anyone except you who does it through a command. Move your thumb to the game and exit the program.

But that doesn't trigger real exit with a cleaning procedure. On Android it just sends an app to background and let the OS to decide, what to close. You have to choose the Quit command literally.
