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.

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.

I know that history can be cleared if you want it to, however it can also be restored if you wish, how to permanently clear browse history

Ive always wanted my history cleared, however, when sometimes i use public computers, you dont want anyone restoring your browse history especially when what you are browsing are extremely important sites

I may have hoped a public computer would give you a private account or a temporary one that would clear after use. Have a read of these two articles they should help explain the available options:
* [[private browsing]] <-- clickable link -- (blue) --
*[[clear recent history]] (this includes other linked articles)
There are limits to what you can hide, but you need not leave info lying around for other users to look at.

Firefox 4 forgets all my APP TAB tabs when configured to automatically clear browsing history when Firefox closes? Not much of a feature!

When I configure
Options>Privacy>History -> Clear history when Firefox closes -> When I quit Firefox, it should automatically clear all: -> Browsing History
all of my App Tab tabs are cleared, as well. Do I have to give up my privacy in order to use the App Tab feature?

You can try to select only one setting at the time in [[Clear Recent History]] to see which one is causing the crash.

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.

How do I clear Browsing History from CommandLine in Windows XP / Windows 7 / And Fedora

ok, Here is the reasoning and Scenario.
Thousands of PC's in a corporate environment, All using a web based application so cache's fill up fast.
Most of these are at remote offices with users not able to navigate back end controls, ie they only know how to use what they are shown.
Plus the browsers rarely if ever get closed so the empty on close option does not get a chance to work.
I can for IE users setup a script in scheduled tasks to clear the IE cache files, but I need FireFox options for Windows and Fedora, as we are transitioning to FireFox and in some cases even off the windows platform.

Maybe set browser.cache.check_doc_frequency to 1. That will cause it to check with the webserver each time to see if it is different from the cache. If that doesn't work, network.http.use-cache to false will ignore the cache, which will really hurt performance overall.
The better option is to have the web server set a no-cache (or very short expiration) header on the javascript files, or other server-side tweaking. Although, strictly speaking, it doesn't make sense that caching of javascript files is a problem unless you're doing development. In a production setting, there should be nothing wrong with caching of javascript. If the javascript is changing as the app runs, the web server should either be setting no-cache, or the javascript should be given a different name, perhaps appending a session number, etc.

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
