I'm guessing by "incognito" you mean Private Browsing? Is this reproducible in the latest Nightly?

This worked for me on Firefox 20.0. I started a chat, opened a private tab and visited various sites, then exited private browsing.  New tabs that were not private still had my previous chat window with its history. The message window still had the history of the chats I was having in non-private tabs.
