I want all the tabs i have open to be closed when i leave the app on mobile. Like how it currently has the option to close after 1 day/week/month. Add an 'immediatly" option. I cannot stand having to close the tabs manually, even the 1 day option is far too long. And don't mention the "Delete Browser Data on on quit" setting, because that reguires that I go into menu and hit "quit". That still way too much work. It's never inconvenient. Make it so that also happens when we close the browser normally. That's the one thing i cannot stand about Firefox on mobile. I never need my tabs kept open like that. It's just incredibly annoying. If i want to get back to the blast tabs used i'd just go into history.

Option to close all tabs on app close

(If this feature actually does exist then I apologize, I haven't looked too deep into the app's settings) I find it quite annoying to come back to 10+ tabs after a few previous sessions when I open Firefox. I want to use Firefox in a way that's similar to the desktop version, and I believe Chromium-based browsers already have this feature as well. Just having the option to turn it on would be enough for me.

I would love to have firefox close all tabs when i close the app and it would be even nicer if firefox cleared history as well. The easiest way is simply a toggle witch for each in setting.  This would save me time.

Please add a "Close tabs after 6 hours" option.

Hey! Thank you for sharing your feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to let us know whatโ€™s not working for you.

While many value keeping tabs open across sessions, we also hear from users like you who prefer a cleaner experience. Weโ€™ll definitely evaluate an option for automatically closing tabs as we continue to evaluate improvements in tab management. Iโ€™ll bring this feedback to the team and follow up when I have news.

Thanks again! Your input helps improve Firefox iOS!
