In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows (jlai.lu)

I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

@PeleSpirit you can totally not record history, or delete it automatically every time you close the browser. Also, it isn't sent to anybody, except if you ask to sync it between browser, then it is encrypted, unreadable for anyoone but you and unshared. (Same for bookmarks sync.) You can totally erase bookmarks : open bookmark window, choose them, erase. I don't know how to erase them a automatically when the browser closes. That is because bookmarks are designed to keep between sessions.

Again, it's the history of when I bookmarked that I don't like. I know you're trying to be helpful, but you guys aren't understanding what I mean. You can tell if I'm planning for a trip, if I'm saving bookmarks for a certain kind of doctor, etc., right now by knowing the order I'm saving. I want to keep the bookmarks, not the history. If you're on windows, go to your hamburger and look at the bookmarks tab, it will show you every bookmark, in order, that you've saved for around 20 of them. If people were trying to sell me something, that would be a great way to see what I'm interested in. Try to right click and delete them, try to find a setting that turns off save bookmark history, then let me know if it works. Someone was saying that it does work, but I can't find it, so it might be a corrupted version of Firefox. When I tried to fix it earlier, I found someone also trying to get rid of it but they had no luck as well so I think that people are just misunderstanding what I don't like.
