tabs that i have open in incognito mode will close automatically. is there ANY way to change this, it's very very irritating. it seems to be an automatic "feature" with no setting to turn it off. i'd like to keep tabs open in incognito mode. thanks.

Hello,

Private Tabs will only close if the Firefox app is fully closed (closed from the recent apps screen). I believe this is an intended feature for added privacy.

One way to try and preserve open Private Tabs is by keeping Firefox open in the recent apps screen and not closing it.
