Firefox Focus isn't really designed to be a "long-term" browser, in my experience. My normal FF on Android has like 12 different tabs open at any given time, and I maintain logins on a few sites. Firefox Focus doesn't really intend for you to have more than one tab open at once (although it does support it), and its default functionality is to delete the browser history as soon as you close it.

I use Focus for quick, one-time things: open a quick article from my news feed, login to pay my credit card bill, etc., and then trash it.

Yes, Focus is specifically designed for use as a default browser to quickly and safely open links and perform one-off tasks. It's recommended that it be used alongside another browser for more long-term sessions and cases where you want history preserved.
