Private browsing loses tabs on ios

Are you referring to Firefox for iOS on iPhone/iPad or are you using desktop Firefox on macOS . I ask because you posted this in the desktop Firefox section and this question seems to be more for iOS.

Sorry, yes the ios version.

Same. Lost all tabs with latest update on iOS (both on iPhone and iPad). Private tabs are wiped every time I close the app, too.

It keeps happening every 7-8 app updates. Just as I relax and I think it will never happen again, there it is - yet another update that wipes all tabs. Please test for this before releasing the updates.
