In error I opened a link in a Private Tab. Now I am stuck in Private Mode Jail! HELP... I can't get back to my multiple open tabs outside of Private mode. Most of them are research for an article I'm putting together. Looking at the Mozilla help, none of the suggestions help. I'm using Firefox for Android. I've tried tapping the upper left Firefox symbol, the mask and looked through the menu. Can't find how to get back out of Private mode. If nothing else, how do I get the list of tabs? What is the directory/folder/file name? Thanks

Well, none of the help posts that I found were any help.

Hi

If you select the tabs icon (square with a number in it on the toolbar), then select the icon to the left of the mask in the menu that appears, you will be taken to your non-private tabs.

I hope that this helps.
