My downloads are deleted when quiting even though I have unchecked the download box in 

Clear private data.

Please advise as it's annoying.

Hi

Are the downloaded files still stored in the Downloads folder in the file manager on your Android device?

No. As soon as I quit they are deleted even though I have unchecked the downloads box.

Hi

I have just tried this myself.

I downloaded a .pdf of an article from Wikipedia. In the Firefox for Android Settings under Privacy, I set Firefox for Android to delete everything on exit, with the exception of Downloads.

I used the exit menu item to exit Firefox for Android and then reopened the app. The downloaded .pdf is still listed as a download and the file can still be in outside of Firefox for Android in the downloads folder on my Android device.
