User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.95 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: 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**. Actual results: 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). Expected results: It should log out automatically after closing private tab if gmail is sign in or sign out.

Summary: Private Tab → Logins are not not cleared when exiting private browsing
Which version of iOS are you using? (Changing bug summary, because "Logins" are the username/password pairs we save and sync, and that's not this.)

I was able to reproduce on iOS 10.2.1
@Richard Newman Sir I was using iOS 5S.
@Richard Newman Sir As we browse in incognito mode using Desktop Browser. if I'm Signin in gmail and i did not sign out and close the incognito tab, it automatically log out in case of Desktop Browser. but in Mozilla Firefox iOS 6.0(2) version when i close the incognito mode without sign out and reopen gmail account it automatically sign in. I think it should not be happen in case of incognito mode. i am using iPhone 5S.

Stephan, can someone from the team take a look at this bug and see if there is a easy fix for 7.0? I believe that not offering full privacy support in private mode is a pretty important issue.
