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!

Tell me how to delete my bookmark history, I'll wait.

What do you mean by bookmark history? Just delete your bookmarks.

Go to the hamburger menu where your settings are and look at your bookmarks and history. It's a way of tracking. Obviously it's not a huge deal or I would use another browser but I still think it's a little shady. It doesn't delete if you close out your browser and have delete history turned on, you can't manually delete it and there's no setting to turn it off. It's obvious you don't mind tracking so you do you.

Are you talking about completely wiping the session?

For example, you open a private window (say, session 1) and bookmark sites while in session 1 to refer to later in the same session. Upon closing session 1 the behaviour you expect is for those bookmarks to be deleted. However in session 2, the bookmarks you created in session 1 are persistent?

Yes, session 2 keeps all of the bookmarks in the history in the order I saved them even though I'm in private mode and I have it so it's supposed to delete all history when I close the window. Not tabs, but the entire browser is shut down.
