Firefox 131.0(aarch64) OSX 15.0.1

1st Issue: The 'Clear Cache' doesn't seem to completely clear the cache. Eg: I'm logged into gmail, I go to Privacy & Security and then click Clear Cache and History. I navigate back to gmail. I'm still logged in.

2nd Issue: When I right click and 'Open Link in New Private Window' this doesn't actually take me to a private window. I have to select File/New Private Window and paste the link to that window.

Being logged in is stored in a cookie, so if you only clear the cache and not the cookies, then you are still logged in.

In about:preferences#privacy I have everything selected within the Clear Data When: Everything History Cookies and site data Temporary cached files an pages Site settings.

This still doesn't clear out the cookies.

I want to note that this just started happening about 2 weeks ago.
