User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050907 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050907 Firefox/1.4

Firefox is config'ed to "Clear private data when closing firefox", and I see the
popup asking if it's ok to do it when I close Firefox.  But the cookies do not
get deleted.

If I "Clear Private Data" manually, the cookies are deleted.  However, whatever
happens "when closing" does not delete the cookies.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check all checkboxes in "Clear Private Data" options, including "Clear
private data when closing firefox"
2. Close Firefox.
3. Start firefox, and "view cookies"

Actual Results:  
All cookies are still present from last session.

Expected Results:  
All cookies from last session should have been deleted when firefox closed.
This should be repaired in the latest builds by the fix of Bug 308384.
