[Feature request] Option to not remember history

Open julianfairfax opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

There is no way to set history to not be remember in Firefox for Android like there is in Firefox for desktop (using custom settings for history and turning off remember browsing and download history and remember search and form history).

This is what the feature looks like in Firefox for desktop: image

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

Because I like privacy and it would mean people who like privacy wouldn't have to clear it every single time.

Who will benefit from it?

People who like privacy

Firefox already has an option to delete browsing history on quit.

That feature requires clicking a particular menu item to delete the browsing history and quit. It also doesn't stop the current session from remembering it until that menu item is clicked.

A year on, this doesn't seem to be happening
