I don't think this is covered by 1266594. I was talking about version 46, not a nightly. The problem exists for some longer, it did not just appear in the last days. Additionally, my issue is not about clearing browser history, which works well, but about google search history, which I suppose has to do with cookies.

This is a clear duplicate. We don't keep different bugs open for different versions.

@Lothar,
He probably typed it wrong, but the message is we believe this is a dup of bug 1266594. I agree the problem you see here may have existed longer than we realized there at first.
See specifically the below re: "Sanitize:ClearHistory" messages

As far as I can tell, the call to remove all cookies is actually async (https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/cc903e3f61894e60c3b0efaf05e9a446d1d85888/netwerk/cookie/nsCookieService.cpp#2349), so the call to Services.cookies.removeAll() (https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/cc903e3f61894e60c3b0efaf05e9a446d1d85888/mobile/android/modules/Sanitizer.jsm#87) will return before we have actually finished clearing the cookies from our database, which turns this into a race between shutdown and the cookie clearing.

This bug is present on current version of Firefox mobile, version 56 and easily reproducible: Washington Post limits you to reading a few free articles and they know how many you've read based on private data info.
Manually clearing this data resets this count.
Setting QUIT to automatically do it does NOT reset this count even if Quit is set to do the same thing, same options as manually clearing private data.
This bug has been there for a long time now.

Bug still present on Fennec (Firefox 64.0.2). Exactly as described: "clear data on exit" does not delete cookies, only manually intervention does it. That's quite serious IMHO.

I still sometimes can see my Google search history, although all private data should have been deleted on shutdown.
