Hi MIJE! Thanks for reporting this issue!

I was unable to reproduce it on Firefox Nightly 139 (2025-04-04), Firefox 138 Beta 2 and Firefox 137 on Samsung S24 Ultra (Android 14). All the data was successfully deleted after exiting the app via the "Quit" menu option.

In order to further look into the issue you're experiencing, could you please provide us more details about your environment:

• device model
• Android version
• Firefox version
• attach a short video with the bug

Thanks!

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox for Android::Browser Engine' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hey MIJE, I'm going to close this as WORKSFORME for now. If you're still able to reproduce this issue please feel free to re-open it with the details that Vasilica requested.
