In the last couple of days, all email links (Thunderbird/Outlook) only open in a Private Window rather than my open, regular Firefox window. Anyone else?

As an update, I kept setting my various browsers to default to see how the email sites opened in each of them. When I got back to FF, all is working again. Something funky happened in the config/setting file I assume.

I disabled all extensions, closed FF with same error. Rebooted Win10 and same error. Re-enabled extensions, same error. So this does not appear to be extension related.
