Version 140.0.4 (64-bit)

As the title states, if you have a private window open and you close your main (non-private) window and attempt to relaunch Firefox (mine is at the taskbar) you will then encounter a window with none of the previously opened tabs and simply a single fresh tab. This is despite having the setting to continue browsing where I left off in the settings ("Open previous windows and tabs") enabled. Luckily the lost window can be recovered by going to History -> Recently closed windows -> "___tab names____"

Hi,

That's an intended behavior. When you have several windows open and close one of them, the closed window will not be automatically reopened on restart. To close Firefox (instead of closing a single window), use menu -> Exit or Ctrl+Shift+Q. When starting after being closed like that, Firefox will reopen all non-private windows you had opened at the moment of exiting.
