Send Tabs from PC goes to private in Android

more options

Add the title of the topic mentions, whenever I use the send tab option to send Tabs from my PC to my Android phone something weird happens. I send a tab that is open (in normal mode) on my PC to my Android phone using the send tab option. For some weird reason it goes and opens that sent tab in the private browsing section on my Android, even though it was a normal tab on my PC that I normally sent to my Android and want it to open in the normal section of my firefox on Android along with all other tabs that I may have open in the normal suction on, but it doesn't. The tab just goes and opens in the private browsing section. Why does that happen? Is it just happening on my phone or is anyone else having the same problem? It's there a fox to this?

I want the sent tabs from my PC to open in normal section on my Android phone instead of automatically opening in private browsing section. That's all
