It has always been my understanding that “private browsing” does not “keep track” of browsing history. However, after the latest update, I have to manually clear my browsing history. Also, if Firefox Private Browsing is default browser, why doesnt it open in private mode when touching the app to open. It causes problems if you get an email for example, and have to click on it to open something online. It opens in the “non private” browser. Then I have to cut and paste the URL into the private browser to continue my work. It use to open in private AND the history use to clear itself. Sorry for the frustration. Thanks, Ravyn
