Closed Bug 1875921 Opened 2 years ago Closed 2 years ago

In Bookmarks Library, when I right click on a web link, I do not see the option to open in a private window. If I click to open, open in a new tab, or in a new window, they all open in a private window.

Steps to reproduce:

In the Bookmarks Library after opening a Firefox non-private window, I find a link under History. When I right-click on a link, I only see Open, Open in New Tab, and Open in New Window; I do not see Open in New Private Tab or Window.

Actual results:

Each time I click Open, Open in New Tab, or Open in New Window, any and all links open in a Private Window.

Expected results:

The web link should open in a new tab in the non-private window I already have open or open in a new non-private window.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Private Browsing' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Private Browsing

I can't seem to reproduce this issue in Nightly v123.0a1, Firefox Release v121.0.1 or ESR v115.6.0esr in Windows 10. The context menu option to open in a private window is properly displayed and functioning in Library history links. The Open in a new tab and new window also work as they should.

@daggerdx@comcast.net: Let us attempt to find what is causing your issue:

  1. Do you have any add-ons that might influence how History works? Please try to reproduce it in safe mode and let us know of the result.
  2. Can you tell us exactly which Firefox version you are using?
  3. Do you know of any settings/preferences that you might have modified to cause this?

Thank you for your contribution!
