extension (add-on) session storage not saving between opening and closing popup when inPrivate window

I have a MV3 extension I created that has a popup and data that is stored in sessionstorage and extension storage.

When I use the extension in a private window it does not work because data does not persist between each time I open and close the popup.

This causes problems, for example you have I have to login each time I open the popup, instead of the auth status persisting. It works fine in a normal window though.

Is there anything I can do that allows data for an extension running in an inPrivate window to persist. (Maybe some additional manifest code / changing the browser config)
