I use only firefox. I need to open private mode quite often, and if I accidentally close the main browser window - I lose my pinned tabs. I setup "Restore last session" in "about:preferences", but it not solve. To lose the tabs I do so:

1. I open the private mode.
2. I close the main browser window.
3. I open any other instance of the browser.
4. Tabs are lost.

In most cases, I can restore my tabs through the log. But, I lose my tabs irrevocably sometimes.

How do I configure a firefox so that it does not lose my pinned main tabs, regardless of the private mode? My firefox: 61.0.2 (x64)

p.s.: Thanks for your job.

It can not be done as it then it would defeat Private Mode.

Take appropriate steps to safe guard what is more important :
