Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox for Android :: Privacy, enhancement)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 15; Mobile; rv:145.0) Gecko/145.0 Firefox/145.0

Steps to reproduce:

There used to be a button (in Firefox Nightly on Android) to terminate all private tabs. I had even reported a bug where it didn't work in portrait mode, only in landscape mode (#1935573).

Actual results:

The button eventually got removed and never got implemented into the main release although it does exist in desktop versions and in the Firefox Focus App.

Expected results:

The button was useful. For example; sometimes I need to temporarily login to my Microsoft account, but it requires all tabs in the session to be closed to be completely logged out, especially if I want to login to a different Microsoft account.
I'm asking for it to be added as a togglable option so that users can turn it off if they don't want it and on if they do.

(I guess I needed to add the word "bug" before it to format it as a link)
