    I have win7 and I use FireFox 52.0.2 for my Web Browser.

    Right out of the Box it works with In Private Browsing and does not remember History or Passwords.

    But for me to Watch NetFlix I have to set FireFox to Remember History.
    Then I can Log In to NetFlix and Play the Movies.

    Now when I leave NetFlix I go and set FireFox back to Never Remember History.

    But the next time I go back to NetFlix I do have to set FireFox to Remember History I know this.

    But as soon as I do this and go back to NetFlix it auto logs me in.

    This meens FireFox is keeping my History and Passwords.
    Does anyone get what I am saying?

    When I Logout of NetFlix and set FireFox to Never Remember History it sould get rid of everything.
    And even if I set it to Remember History it should be Blank and I have to Log Back in.
    What is going on?

    I use Firefox as well. History and passwords are separate entities.

    Go to Options under the Tools Menu and select the Security header on the left. There you can tell Firefox how you want to handle passwords.

    I go there and I see
    Saved Passwords and I click it and it has no Saved Passwords.

    Then I see Master Password and I have nothing set so this check box is Un Checked.

    Then I see Remember Sites and I have no check in here.

    But if I go to Privacey and click Remember History so I can watch NetFlix.

    I go to NetFlix and I auto Log In.

    Anf it FireFox does not have my NetFlix Password it should not auto Log me in.

    So where is it getting it from??

    Netflix is leaving a cookie on your PC that contains your login info.

    If I use FireFox is there a Folder for my Cookies?

    I think IE uses a Folder called InterNet on the C Drive.

    In Tools -> Options -> Privacy, there's a link to "Remove Individual Cookies" under the History heading.

    Also, under Privacy (History), select custom settings for history. Then you can select how Firefox remember's History, and how you want cookies to be handled.

    Just use another browser and leave Firefox in privacy mode.
    No need to remember all your settings that way and there are plenty of browsers to choose from.
    Opera andf Chrome I recommend but not IE.

    The OP just needs to work out clearly how they want to use a web browser - since they will have exactly the same problem with any web browser. They haven't returned so maybe they have solved the issue.
