I updated to version 19.0 the other day and now FF is all screwed up.. It happened as a result of me right clicking firefox on my task bar and selecting open in private browsing mode instead of opening just as usual. I downloaded a few videos while in private mode. I exited private mode into normal mode. When it switched back to normal mode, my previous session was gone, all recent tab history was gone, pinned tabs were gone and settings reset. Logging into Gmail and facebook I was prompted to save the password too....

Is this a known issue?

On a quick attempt I did not reproduce that sort of problem.

I am seeing other possible problems but now no time to investigate until the end of the week.

Fx19 when started with -Private flag it does now display warning that it is in private mode. The warning includes advice to use the menu to exit Private Browsing mode, but that option is greyed out, and not available.

Fs21 that uses a different system, it has options for a PB Window. That mucked up the display of my open tabs once I returned to normal mode. The tab's titles all displayed as http... instead of the correct title such as Firef...Once the tabs were clicked on the correct title displayed.

  • Anyone else seeing problems such as I have seen ?
  • or able to reproduce problems as the OP sees ?
  • STR ?
    What are the simplest Steps that may be Taken to Reproduce this problem ?
    • Safe Mode ?
      and does this occur in SafeMode ?

Note do not try in Fx 18, known bug:
