Hi,

Please check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is okay, you can then Reset Firefox on the old (previous) profile via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information.

Your current session will be closed if you leave Private Browsing mode.

You can create a new Boolean pref with the name browser.privatebrowsing.keep_current_session on the about:config page and set the value to true.
