Firefox-ios: Private Tab

[shree007]

I opened my gmail account in private tab ,after some time, I closed private tab without sign out. Again I opened gmail in private tab it automatically opened my gmail account . Whereas I know private tab does not store cookies and history . I am using Mozilla Firefox iOS 6.0(2).

As any normal browser that supports Private Browsing, You need to close your session afterwards. In this case, to have it automatically done, Go into Firefox's settings and enable "close tabs after leaving Private Mode".

I think it should be automatically sign out without going settings whenever we use incognito,
I have following point ,it's my own opinion it is not necessary that you will agree.

1. when people use private tab they know that nothing is going to store(trackers, logins details etc.).
   Most of the people come to use mobile Mozilla Firefox after Desktop Browser Experience, habitually they know that Private tabs means nothing is going to store.But in First experience of Mozilla Firefox iOS They will have to know first "Go into Firefox's settings and enable "close tabs after leaving Private Mode"."
   Is it good from User experience ?

You're acting like Firefox is the only iPhone web browser to do this. Both Safari and Chrome do the same thing! And On A Desktop Browser, You close the private window(s), just like how you would close your private tabs on iOS.

Okay Sir. I'll try my best to fix it in case of Mozilla Firefox iOS, If I can.

Thanks Sir
