app not opening in private mode automatically anymore

hi

i use the ios firefox app on iphone 13 ios 16.5.1

the firefox app used to open automatically where it was left off for example if i had closed it while in view mode of all the private tabs and reopend it would still be there in private mode with all tabs in view.

it no longer does this instead it always opens on the standard browsing mode. it also only opens links from other apps in standard browsing mode too now when i open them in the app.

i noticed this start happening maybe a few weeks ago not sure exactly when. i dont think it was a change in my settings because i searched them all for something like this and recall it always being the previous way where it would stay in private mode after being closed.

does anyone know how to fix this or experienced the same?

thanks

I understand your frustration with the recent changes in Firefox for iOS. It seems like the app no longer retains your private mode and tabs when you reopen it. This might be due to a recent update or a glitch. To try and fix this, I recommend a couple of steps. First, ensure you're using the latest version of the Firefox app from the App Store. Next, try closing the app completely and restarting your device. If the issue persists, you might want to consider uninstalling and reinstalling the app, as this can sometimes resolve unexpected behavior.
