Every time I click away to a different program, it closes my private browsing window. It automatically closes and I cannot find a relevant setting. Only happens in private browsing.

I was wrong! It is minimizing them and there is no option to bring them up again except via ALT + TAB. I am used to being able to mouse over the icon on the task bar and for it to show all open windows. Any way for that to be restored would be a dream.
