.... quotes from the article:

Mozilla launched today Firefox Focus for Android, a brand new mobile browser for Android that comes with a stripped down minimal interface, a built-in ad blocker, and an always-on "private browsing"
.....
.....
The Android version of Firefox Focus is identical to the iOS version, featuring the same simplistic design that doesn't feature too many GUI elements. In fact, the Firefox Focus browser is only a browser frame and a menu to the top-right corner.

Because the browser is in a permanent Private Browsing mode, once users close the browser, all their browser history is wiped, and they lose the previous browsing session.

This is intended behavior, as Mozilla markets this as a browser for privacy conscious users, recommending the main Firefox for Android release for users that need more features.
