After the most recent update, private browsing no longer restores tabs after an app re-launch. Is there any way to restore the lost tabs?

Are you referring to Firefox for iOS on iPhone/iPad or are you using desktop Firefox on macOS . I ask because you posted this in the desktop Firefox section and this question seems to be more for iOS.

Same. Lost all tabs with latest update on iOS (both on iPhone and iPad). Private tabs are wiped every time I close the app, too.

It keeps happening every 7-8 app updates. Just as I relax and I think it will never happen again, there it is - yet another update that wipes all tabs. Please test for this before releasing the updates.
