Why are all my open tabs (in regular mode) deleted when I close down another Firefox window in Private mode?

- I start by opening firefox in standard mode with a saved session containing a lot of tabs. - Then I open another Firefox window in private mode and close down the standard window. - I close down the private window. - I open firefox again in stadard mode and all my session tabs are gone!

This is getting REALLY frustrating!!! Why the hell would Firefox do that.
