How do I clear private data on Firefox for Android anytime I close out of it?

There are options to clear up the history etc. But its setup as a manual process. Anytime I wish to clean it up, I have to repeat these steps. Can we or do we have the feature where in we can clean up the history like the desktop version has where all we need to do is quit the application? This would save us all a lot of the cursory checks to leave any kind of trails on our digital footprints on our handhelds

Hello,
You can also use private browsing for it
It will delete your all browsing data after closing up application.

  • If I update to new Firefox Synch, will I loose data in Firefox for Android?

    My laptop was recently stolen, it had Firefox with the old version of Synch. I still have my Android with Firefox and Synch set up. On my new laptop, I am not able to synch my bookmarks and data because it has the new version of Firefox Synch. If I go through the process of disconnecting Synch accounts and re-synching my data between browsers as directed in support solutions, will I loose the data that is still in my Firefox for Android? How can I recover my data from the old Synch account so that my Firefox data is restored on my new laptop?

    <blockquote>
    Sync accounts do not affect your profile data. You can safely switch between the two of them. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-update-to-the-new-firefox-sync
    </blockquote>
    The instructions that you refer to say "in order to create a Firefox account and sign in to the new Sync you'll have to unlink all of your current devices from the old version of Sync." If I set it up with the same email address as before, will it maintain the original data (bookmarks, etc) and Synch all of that on all the devices?

  • How to set default search engine in Firefox for Android?

    Hi. I want to set a non-Google search engine as the default in Firefox on Android. I have installed the search engine as an add-on and it is working fine, but I would like to use it as the default search, rather than having to select it each time.
    Couldn't find the answer on here or anywhere else.
    Please note this only relates to Android.
    Thanks!

  • How do I disable the tab with 'Firefox for Android' advertisement ? It is freaking me out

    Every time I open the Firefox browser, a new tab opens up with the ad suggesting me to try Firefox for android mobile. This is additional tab along with my regular home tab. My browser version is Firefox funnel cake 22.0 . It is freaking me out as this happens every time I open the browser. Provide me a solution or tell me to switch to a different browser. I mean who is the dumb idiot who suggested this idea ? Really ?? you want the add to stay there and irritate users everytime they open it ?

    Try to change your new tab by going to about:config, and in that address bar type in browser.newtab.url, right click it, and then hit modify. There will be a window that pops up that will let you type in the address you want to show up in your new tabs. There also might be a warning when going to about:config, but just accept it if it's there.

  • How do I see my downloads on Firefox for Android

    I recently bought something, it was like a downloadable cd. It downloaded and I'm trying to open it but nothing happens. I'm not sure what's the problem.

    You can view your downloaded files by opening the browser menu and selecting tools > downloads.
    If you have cleared that data you would need a file browser app to locate the file. A simple file browser is the OI file manager, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager
    Files are downloaded to /mnt/sdcard/download/ by default

  • How to uninstall "Mozilla-OS" apps from Firefox *for Android*?

    And no, the answer Jörgen Juel gave some other user does not work: Long-press, select and hold, whatever you want to call it -- on Android it gives you the standard Android editing options, NOT an uninstall button.
    Which makes it hard to decide whether Jörgen's "you might be more used to the Android way, but Firefox OS works more like iOS, just press and hold..." was more infuriatingly arrogant or more hilariously condescending: Yes, of course that user is more used to the Android way, given that it was an Android phone he was asking about. That's why his phone works the Android way, and the iOS / MozillaOS instructions won't work.
    So, the question remains: IS there any way to remove Mozilla-apps from FireFox on Android?

    Yes,
    Tap on the soft menu and tap on Tools then Apps, then go to your apps. Make sure you are logged in and go to my apps. This will list the apps.
    On the homescreen you can tap and hold onto the app and drag to uninstall. If there is an app that does not allow this, please report it.
    We can troubleshoot and reproduce from there.
    Thank you.

  • Firefox for Android will not play mp3

    Hi! Why does Firefox for Android will not play mp3? For example the tracks on this page do not play http://audiobook-online.com/?page_id=33 . Firefox for windows plays mp3.
    Alexander

    Hello,
    I've just tested and the mp3s on that page work fine for me. When I first visited the site I see a prompt at the top of the screen: "This page contains plugin content. Would you like to enable plugins".
    I clicked Activate and the audio played fine.
    If the pop-up doesn't appear then you can try enabling plugins across all pages. See here:
    [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?|Play Flash Content Without Tapping]]
    But be aware that there are security implications with this option. It is safer to keep flash as tap-to-play. There is more information on this in the article.
    I hope that helps.

  • Why can't I install Firefox for Android on my Motorola Defy Mini? According to Antutu Benchmark system info, it has a ARM v7 CPU, so it should be compatible...

    When I try to install Firefox for Android on my Motorola Defy Mini (XT320), Google Play Store tells me that my device is not compatible with Firefox for Android,so I cannot install it; according to Antutu Benchmark system info, the Motorola Defy Mini has an Arm v7 CPU installed, so it should be compatible with Firefox for Android...

    Turns out it was a permissions issue, the files created by the certutil in the defaults folder got root only permissions given to them. I opened them up and it's working fine.

  • How do I prevent the dialog box from popping up every time I click Clear Private Data?

    In v3.6 (and it looks like in v4.0 too), every time one clicks the Clear Private Data Now (using a toolbar button), a dialog box pops up to confirm that I indeed want to clear data and which data. Why?!!!
    Why can this be set like it was in previous versions where a person sets which data they want cleared and be done with it? It's annoying. As such, I've used a v3.0.## since this annoying pop-up began in v3.5 or v3.6 or whenever it was.
    And please don't ask, if I have it clear on close, why I want clear it during a browsing session. Just know that I do. And the fact that you have for a long time had the feature to clear during a session shows that you or someone thought it good to have this feature--not just when the browser closes.
    I'd like to move to the current version, but this is so annoying. I'd move to Chrome, but for a few reasons, I'd prefer to stay with Firefox. For the love of gawd, can you please fix this?

  • Firefox does not prompt me to clear private data when I close the program

    Firefox used to pop up a window and ask if I want to clear private data whenever I quit from the program. Now there is no prompt from Firefox anymore. I checked the settings and it still has "clear history when Firefox closes" selected.
    So is this normal?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Recently, less than a month.
