Hello. I have been testing and using Firefox Focus and have liked it thus far. I know that a notification shows up for me to erase all browsing history. However, if I close the app without erasing through the notification area, will that also clear all browsing history? Thank you.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Hi VicVicVicx,

are you running iOS or Android?

You can delete your browser history by hitting the button on the bottom right corner. (I attached a screenshot of that button ;) )

Also you can delete it through the notification window. This means that the page you have visited remains open in the background for you to either open it up again or delete it.

As soon as the app is closed for good, though, all your browsing history within Firefox Focus will be gone. So the history is only kept while the app is running in the background.

I hope I could help you! BR JoKers
