Private tabs vanishing on iOS Firefox

I’m having a problem very similar to the one described here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1421173 from last year. Ever since the version 127.0 update from last week, all my private tabs are GONE. My regular tabs, including inactive tabs, are fine but more than 40 private tabs were lost (and I’m pissed because the nature of what those tabs were makes them very difficult to go re-find). Now, anything I open as a private tab vanishes if I leave the app for more than just a moment, even if I left it open to that tab. It makes the private browsing function effectively unusable for anything I’m not gonna just sit down and do in one sitting.

I don’t expect my 40+ lost tabs recovered, it’s a pain but it’ll be fine, but the function issue is NOT fine and needs to be fixed!

Hi Senna, I understand your frustration in private tabs deleting on Firefox for iOS. There is a GitHub issue (different from the other question you linked) that I believe is related to this issue: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/20073.

Given that multiple posts have been made regarding this, I'll escalate this to the developers. If you have any more questions or information, feel free to reply. Thanks and have a great day!
