Loosing opened tabs when leaving private window open on closing Firefox

Hi!

I am used to Firefox with multiple tabs and occasionally, I need private windows of Firefox due to reloading of websites, etc.

Each time I close my Firefox non-private window whilst the private one is still open (mostly by mistake), I lose my browser session with multiple tab completely. Also the recovery-mechanisms I found in the documentation database don't work.

Anyway, I wouldn't want to recover my sessions, I'd rather like Firefox not to behave that way. It is possible to enhance Firefox in such a way that it does NOT forget its sessions if the user closes a private window after the main non-private one has already been closed?

Thanks in advance, Dennis
