Sure, it's nice for some people, and in some situations. But in this situation, Firefox is clearly retaining data which the user has _explicitly_commanded_it_not_to_retain_. Covertly disobeying the user's direct command is definitely, not debatably, wrong. I used the word "covertly" because Firefox accepts the user's command, with no indication that it intends to disobey it. In fact, the user generally doesn't know that the command has been disobeyed, until after illegitimately retained data have been exfiltrated to a server somewhere, which can't be undone.
