Private mode cleans cookies on each exit and I don't like having to re-login
to sites just because I restarted the browser.

Just a side note: Pixel trackes are not JS based. And you can be tracked also
through 3rd-party CSS request. So an extension like uMatrix and uBO is much
more helpful than NoScript because through it you can control quite well JS
blocking too.
> I mean, are you sure ones you closed the browser it's process was correctly
killed? That is strange.
Yes, I am sure. And yes, it is strange. Speculation: I suppose it may be some
related to the fact that I am behind a router which NATs the Internet to the
LAN but still - tcpdump shows the connection is from the localhost to the
remote host and it makes no sense.
> Are you testing this without any addon?
Absolutely clean virgin browser without any ~/.mozilla/firefox upon first
run. I also explicitly run it from command line with option --ProfileManager
so that I can see how the profile is created and selected.

Cheers colleague :)
Well, cheers to you too! Unfortunately I can't confirm that the final result
is a decent browser. :( I may try user.js some time but I really don't have
the nerves right now. I have already spend so many hours to test Firefox and
each time I really find it is so bad at listening to what I ask it to do.
Can you please test on your system the opening of Preferences and the
browsing to https://fsf.org/robots.txt? What results do you get for each?
