Private navigation crashing

Hello My private tabs sometimes abruptly disappear when I come back to the browser, even though I do not do anything unusual. I cannot discern any predictable pattern. But when I go to the crash report section in the settings, there is no record of it, I suppose because the private navigation crashed within the browser not the app itself.

I never found the pages had anything remarkable, except in the last intance a few minutes ago. It was an online ping test and required localisation. So I enabled it and it went good. After the test I went to the device settings to remove the permission to Firefox (because it is a browser, nothing personal) and this probably forced the app to restart. I do not remember any such manipulation the other times, but maybe I didn't pay enough attention, so let's consider this issue closed. Thank you for answering
