A doubt regarding signing out on mozilla support community
Nowadays when I click the sign out option on mozilla support community while on my profile page, from the dropdown menu under my profile name, I usually see that web address with #sign-out written in the end on the address bar. Then the web address of my profile will be shown in the address bar. Its just that, in the previous days, when I clicked the sign out option, I remember seeing the web address with #sign-out written in the end on the address bar but after that, I dont remember seeing the web address of my profile page there on the address bar. I may not have noticed it back then, that could be it.. there's no other possible explanation for the same right?

if you sign out safely, then its not problem but if you still logged in after signing out then try to clear your caches.
In a lot of cases the actual action is done via XHR in the background and you may not see changes in the URL. You will see a "Sign In" label instead of your profile name at the top to the page when you were signed off successfully. You can check this in a private browsing mode window that has a separate cookie jar.
You need to clear cookies to logout manually, but it is better to do this via the website to make sure that the session ID is invalidated on the server and can't be reused.
