Fire Button
The flame on your toolbar is a one-tap panic button. When you hit it, your session is gone — immediately and irreversibly.
What it burns
- Closes all open tabs (normal and private).
- Clears cookies and site data.
- Empties the cache.
- Wipes browsing history.
How to use it
Tap the flame icon in the toolbar, or press Ctrl Shift Del on a keyboard. There is no confirmation dialog — that’s deliberate.
It does not ask twice
Anything not saved to bookmarks or the vault is gone the moment you tap. The Fire Button is designed for speed, in case you need to hand your phone to someone right now.
What it does NOT touch
- Bookmarks — kept.
- The encrypted vault — kept (it’s protected separately).
- Saved passwords — kept.
- Downloads — kept.
Under the hood
The Fire Button is implemented in privacy/FireButton.kt. It calls into the GeckoRuntime to clear data and resets the tab list in the ViewModel — a single, atomic operation.
