Apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this but I couldn’t find a Fennec-specific community and I don’t know what I’d have to look up to find something related to troubleshooting browsers.

My issue is this: I use Fennec exclusively in private browsing mode and ever since the new update I have to select the private tab manually every time I open the browser. I don’t know if this was something I had enabled in the settings ages ago, if the browser was previously able to remember my selection but now isn’t able to anymore for some reason OR if I accidentally changed my settings today while I was trying out a couple things.

Any response (even just telling me I’m stupid and that I obviously need to select XYZ in the settings) from other Fennec users would be appreciated :)

    It still does all of that though? The only thing that stopped working was that you use the standard app shortcut to start it in private mode. And for that you can make a separate shortcut.

    It still works if you follow a link from another app that it opens that in private mode. It still works that the browser closes tabs automatically after a set time and that it clears history fully upon quiting.

    I am not sure what you are now missing.
