When I set up a filter for junk mail, it asks "When do you want to move" I DO NOT want to move it anywhere I want it DELETED. Not move to trash where I have to "run junk filter" again or again delete it. In filter when you select DELETE it should be deleted. Otherwise what is the purpose of "JUNK" filter. Who wants to save junk?

The global settings allow that.

What "global setting"? I have check and the only settings in "account setting" or "setting" only moves to junk then to the trash. Everywhere I check I have selected "delete" but it either moves to "junk" or to "trash" which I then have to manually delete. When "filter" is created I again check "delete" but it only sends to first to trash then have to run filters again or delete each which another step to delete. Your would think with the constant updates from Mozilla this might be addressed.
