Can popups open incognito windows when you aren't in incognito?

I was on my computer browsing reddit and Twitter, when I accidentally moved my mouse to the bottom of the screen and it brought up my toolbar. I already had Firefox open so I hadnt needed to look at my toolbar all day. I noticed there was an incognito tab open for a camgirls page on a porn site. I wasn't in incognito mode and have never once used incognito.

I didn't click any bad links or anything to my knowledge since I was mostly just playing neopets and browsing my social media, not clicking any links. My husband is sleeping and I asked him if he did this on my computer and he said no and went back to sleep and I couldn't get anymore answers out of him.

I don't want to jump to conclusions if it was just a popup that I somehow did. So can a popup open an incognito window if I'm not in incognito? Or is my husband cheating on me with camgirls behind my back when I'm at work?

Incognito doesn't mean popups will happen it keeps no history and clear the cache when closed. Since no one is there to see what happened of what one did this makes it harder to know what was going on at the time. The fact the partner denies the claim is suspicious itself. Sites can't open unless a user goes or click on a link. The best way to not let another use your profile or account to do unsavory sites is to if on Windows 10 or so is to password protect your Admin/Owner account as if the other member is doing unsavory things with your account eventually it will get infected for the Admin account and then worse reformat is needed to wipe clean the infection. So password protect the Admin and your standard user account and if they need to use the Browser then make account for them to use and if they infect their account then just delete that account and start over. But for this instance I would password protect the Admin and not use it but make standard account and use that for everyday purpose.
