Firefox 134.0.2

Hi!

I was shocked when I recently visited a website of a company that offers IDEs. I've downloaded one of the IDEs a couple of weeks ago and now that I've came back to the website looking for plugins, the website still "knew" which version of the IDE I had downloaded because it gave me warnings about plugins not compatible with my IDE version. Now: My privacy settings in Firefox are "strict", the option "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is checked and I've closed Firefox several times in the meantime. Still, the website has information about my identity.

I would have expected that with these settings something like what I've described wouldn't happen. I must say, I'm quite disappointed. Is there anything else that I can do within Firefox to enhance my privacy?
