Hi- previous versions of the iOS Firefox would provide a confirmation pop-up when you hit 'Clear Private Data' under the Settings - Data Management menu.

Version 130.1 (45056) no longer seems to provide the confirmation message....and crucially does not seem to clear all the data. There is often retention of bookmarks and URLs under the Web Site Data section?

Has the confirmation funcationality been removed or is it not working correctly? Can it be reinstated or do I need to regress to an earlier version that did provide the confirmation and expected clearance of data?
