Never jump to unwarranted assertions.
You were doing really well; very helpful and chatty. And then you fail
with an illogical assumption.

What led you to this one? It's wrong.

You:
I clear Firefox weekly; Options/ Privacy & Security/ clear data cache,
clear history.
(No mention of NOT including history in the cleanup.)

Premise:
You were deleting ALL history.

Me:
Firefox ... the choices of what to delete are limited: last 1/2/4 hours,
today, and everything.
There are probably extensions for Firefox and Chrome that will better
manage your history

You:
Have you ever been hit by "Now then, that website I was at earlier today
- where was it? Was it in www.xxx or wwww.yyy or what?"
Well, I have; and I've found that a look through Firefox's history often
gets me back there.

Before you were deleting all history, so the above scenario would occur,
same as if you used CCleaner or another cleanup tool. Now you want to
keep history.

Yes, no, sometimes. A moving target is hard to hit. Okay, decide when
you are using Firefox to clear out its local data (menu - Options -
Privacy & Security - History - Clear History) whether or not to
include history (exclude to keep all, include to delete all), or how far
back to clear history (menu - Library - History - Clear Recent
History), or use a cleanup tool to wipe all history (to overlap
Firefox's purge-on-exit settings), or use an extension to manage history
that matches whatever criteria you're trying to convey.


There is nothing in what I've said that could rationally conclude that
"You haven't even bothered to look at the cleanup settings, have you?"

A man who is overbearing with others is arrogant.
When a man lets his arrogance outstrip his reasoning powers he is very
arrogant.
