I use Tor (with no scripts addon) for casual browsing, closing it down regularly to clear it.

Then a mainstream browser for anything I leave logged in like email.

And Firefox with clear everything on exit setting for the occasional site blocked on Tor.

Use Tor people!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I do not believe it's mutually exclusive from my usage on Fire/Water-fox

Including URLs? Like typing "n" and news.ycombinator.com auto filling?

IIRC there are check boxes to configure what should be deleted but I configure cookies/cache to not persist. Not sure where "secure" auto-generated passwords are saved i.e. on mac keychain or browser-based

There're a lot of controls and I use at least 4 browsers so take the above with a grain of salt, try it and see if it works for you?

We're talking about browsing history, not cookies and cache.
