I have firefox set to autoclear my private data when I close the window. If I run CCleaner after I close firefox is it still performing a secure 7 pass deletion on my private data or do I have to turn off the autoclear of private data in firefox?

I would turn off the autoclear feature as then you can be certain that the data is securely wiped by CCleaner.
