In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows (jlai.lu)

I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

Uh, you can also use these things called bookmarks to save commonly accessed webpages… also this is a feature of literally every web browser since checks notes forever.

I like Firefox but I don't love that they keep track of all of my bookmarks and their history plus there's no way to turn that off. I thought they were more privacy oriented than that.

Edit: I guess I should have explained it better.

Go to your hamburger menu where you can find your settings and all that jazz
Look at your bookmarks and history
You can't delete that history of what tabs you had opened or the order you've saved your bookmarks.

NOT private and anyone could track that instead of tracking you directly.

...but you can?

Right click any bookmark under the hamburger menu, and select Delete Bookmark. It deletes. You can also delete all in the bookmark manager. But those seem like a non-issue, since they have to be manually created.

Same thing works under History in the hamburger menu. Right-click any item in history and select Delete Page. It deletes. Same as above, all can be deleted in manager or by selecting Clear Recent History > Time Range to Clear = Everything.

Firefox will not store history at all if you go to Settings > Privacy and Security > set "Firefox will" to "Never remember history".

So..... ?
