In the left-hand menu, click on "Privacy & Security." 4. Scroll down to the "Cookies and Site Data" section. 5. Check the box next to "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed." 6. Click on the "Settings" button next to this option. 7. Check the box next to "Cookies and Site Data." 8. Click on "OK" to save your settings. 9. Return to the "Privacy & Security" menu and scroll down to the "History" section. 10. In the drop-down menu next to "Firefox will," select "Use custom settings for history." 11. Check the box next to "Clear history when Firefox closes." 12. Click on the "Settings" button next to this option. 13. Select the types of data you want Firefox to automatically clear when you close the browser (e.g., browsing history, download history, form and search history, cookies, cache, etc.). 14. Click on "OK" to save your settings. That's it! Now, Firefox will automatically delete your browsing history and other selected data when you close the browser.
