I use Firefox in the private mode because I use a public computer. This I thought would eliminate all cookies, history and passwords between sessions. But I am finding, time and again, that Gmail does not ask me for my password when I restart my browser; it automatically logs me in.
What's up with that?
How can I make sure that Google plays fair and forgets my login credentials after I close my browser?
Note: I do not check "remember me" as I login.
You can have Firefox automatically destroy your cookies and history at the end of every "browsing session", if that's what you're looking for. There are also a few add-ons that allow for the easy management of cookies on a site-by-site basis, such as CookieSafe or CookieCuller.
If you go into the Firefox options and then the Privacy tab, there should be a dropdown for how long to keep cookies. By default it is set to "until they expire", you can change this to "until I close Firefox".
You may also want to check the box just below there to "Clear history when Firefox closes".
