I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

@PeleSpirit @DarkThoughts not sure if I understand this correctly, please excuse if what I write is beside the point. History and bookmarks are independent. History records whatever site you visit, according to your settings. Bookmarks are different, they are created only if you take action for each bookmark (like using the star in the URL bar or hitting Ctrl+d). They are easily deleted.
@PeleSpirit you can totally not record history, or delete it automatically every time you close the browser. Also, it isn't sent to anybody, except if you ask to sync it between browser, then it is encrypted, unreadable for anyoone but you and unshared. (Same for bookmarks sync.) You can totally erase bookmarks : open bookmark window, choose them, erase. I don't know how to erase them a automatically when the browser closes. That is because bookmarks are designed to keep between sessions.
