User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 Build ID: 20171024165158 Steps to reproduce: 1) Open firefox 2) press Ctrl + Shift + N 3) In new Private Window open some login page, and type credentials. 4) Press Ctrl + Shift + N to open another Private Window. 5) Go to the same url, you will be also logged in your account. Actual results: Authentication cookies are shared between Private Windows. Expected results: Each Private Window should be isolated. Otherwise it is not "private" window. For example that helps to track user if some embedded content is used (some counters, social network widgets and so on).
