I use private browsing almost all the time. I've setup sync in my desktop. Now in my tablet if I sync, only the tabs on normal mode are synced but not the tabs on private browsing. Is there anything else I need to setup to make the private browsing sync?

Private Browsing is just that, private. It isn't saved or synced. If you want to sync use normal browsing.

I dont think private browsing is synced due to privacy concerns (mostly its used for banking etc.)
