Why is the sessionstore.jsonlz4 generated from a private firefox window ? It is not private anymore if the session is stored in place of the regular session, which by the way happens not to be generated when the regular firefox window is closed while a private firefox window is still open. The private firefox window should have no effect on the regular session storage and should never be stored, all this is very confusing.

Opening a new private window (via any method, keyboard shortcut or the button in the burger menu) will show the History sidebar for a very short while, then it disappears. This is very annoying as when I type the cursor is no longer automatically focused in the address bar.

macOS shows two screentime usages for firefox even when I don’t use private mode

Hi,

I recently discovered that macOS Screen Time is reporting my Firefox usage under the name “Firefox: Private, Safe Browser.” and just the name "Firefox". My family is suspecting that I am using private model for the screen time of "Firefox". However, I have never used Private Browsing mode.

This mislabeling is causing misunderstandings at home, as it appears I’m hiding something, which I am not. Could this be a misclassification by macOS, or is there something in Firefox’s app packaging that triggers this name?

I would greatly appreciate any clarification or assistance. Thank you.

Best,

Edit:

I tested on my Mac again today. Even though I am using Firefox Private Mode, I only have one screen time usage, just called "Firefox: Private, Safe Browser".

Despite turning all the ones I could find off, YouTube keeps preventing me from playing videos in my main browser saying I can't watch with adblockers on. So I've been opening all these tabs in private browsers. Wednesday night into Thursday morning I was playing a song I'd found but when the computer restarted it didn't reopen that page. Is there a way to find a private browser window I had open?
