Customized the mobile app for max privacy. However, it will revert itself back to the default privacy settings. Uninstalled and re-installed but issue continues. App is up to date. Issue has happened 4 times as of this postings.

Hi

Which are the settings that you are changing that keep reverting back?

With this information we should be able to find a solution for you.

Seburo,

Everything. It goes to the default original setting. So, it turns off all the privacy-maximizing features (i.e no 3rd party cookies, no tracking, clear on exit etc...).

Kbrosnan,

I didn't uninstall Firefox. I only installed it ONCE. I set my setting to maximize privacy and it keeps going back to the original default settings. Its changing my settings without my consent.
