Make Firefox delete history automatically
Firefox for Android is a browser that is more privacy-oriented compared to some of its competitors. One of the features it provides us with is that the browsing history is going to be automatically deleted when we close it. This helps to prevent this type of data from being stored in it, as well as preventing anyone from entering and seeing the pages we have visited in the browser.
- Open Firefox on your Android phone.
- Click on the three vertical dots.
- Go to Settings.
- Go to Delete browsing data on exit.
- Enter this section.
- Enable this option.
- Select which data you want to delete after closing the browser.
The browser will let you select the types of browsing data that will be deleted every time you close the browser on your phone. There are several options to choose from: open tabs, browsing history, cookies, cached images, and files or site permissions. You will be able to select the ones you want from the list so that when you close the application, that data will be deleted without you having to do anything.
If at some point you want to disable this feature in the browser on Android, just follow the same steps you did to enable it. This feature is available in all versions of the Android browser, which you can download for free from the Play Store.
