Still missing a key features

Downloaded the latest nightly and after I think for what has been over a year, the tabs do not close when I close the browser. Hell my computer will close the tabs and give me the option to restore them.

How [removed] hard is it to add back this feature? Doesn't seem like it would be very hard. Is there some technical limitation I am not aware of? Is it poorly made that that it breaks if that feature is enabled? Can I get some answers? Or do you want to add more useless features. Like Collections. I still don't see why that was added when bookmark support has been around since the start.

Hi

From the Settings option in the Firefox for Android menu, under Tabs, you can set Tabs to close after different periods of time. Alternatively, you can select Delete browsing data on quite and select Tabs there so that when you use the Quite option in the menu, tabs are closed on exit. A third option is to use Private Browsing mode.

1. That setting is [removed] garbage. No option for immediately on close. 2. That deleting browser history doesn't work. I quit, they still come back. 3. Private mode is no good as the color theme is an eye sore and it doesn't record history.

I am really tired of needing to stay on 68, because some basic settings got remove and aren't being brought back.

Please can you be careful with the language you are using, we try to keep things family friendly around here.

The option to immediately close tabs on quitting Firefox for Android is to select Delete browsing data on quite and select Tabs there so that when you use the Quit option in the menu. What is the version number of Firefox for Android that you are using where this does not work?
