Steps to reproduce:

While working on debugging a website that returns a different page depending on whether you're logged in or not, I opened a Private Browsing session to see the non-logged-in version.  I then opened devtools, and clicked on the Debugger tool.  I double-clicked on "(index)", hoping to set a breakpoint in some javascript that lives in the page proper.


Actual results:

The document that the Debugger tool showed me was the one I would expect for a logged-in user, not the one that matched the page that was rendered in this tab.


Expected results:

I should have been shown the document that was currently rendered in this tab.
