i have made it a habit to use firefox in private browsing mode all the time. i know i can use "private browsing.autostart", i was a big user of that for many many years but ineed some persistent logins.
private browsing i do as in, i start my pc, firefox starts on its own so i do ctrl+shift+p.
then i go about my day using this window and more such windows.
whenever i have to wind down for the day or want to get rid of a session, i just close the windows and i am clean.
i understand people use cookies auto delete like you mentioned but for my use case, i dont even bother. i can sign in, do what i need to do and i dont care about signing out or even being tracked across sessions because sessions are not persistent across logins

- 2Gkashmiri 4y agosure... i get that.... its not for everyone. you can do one thing, keep one browser window for websites that you absolutely need to be logged in to always. for general browsing/surfing, etc, use the private window. for example, this means you arent logged in to youtube or google search while you go about your day while you can still use gmail in a container.... the normal not-container browsing needs cookie removal and stuff
