Ah, assuming you expect data should be deleted while the window is closed rather than waiting until Firefox quits.

Johann, do you think if we need to update the wording for "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed"? Or, that option should apply to clean quota storage while a window is close? Thanks in advance!

To elaborate more: my understanding is that "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" refers to quit Firefox. But, we might need to change to wording to reduce confusion. Or, if my understanding is wrong, then we should call another function. Note that if the use (remove storage while closing tab) is needed, we can consider having a function to do that.
