How to share the incognito tabs

Hello,

as the Firefox Sync is not working with incognito tabs (which is sort of intended), I sometimes stumble on the problem that I opened an URL in incognito mode but find it useful to safe for later reference (be it rereading, quoting or whatever).

Since some time (a few weeks maybe) I found the option to share the incognito tabs gone. I can share regular tabs but the option is not there for the incognito tabs. To test this, I go to the list of open tabs and long-press one of the tabs of interest. Recently, I was able to select some tabs and tap the share icon. This no longer happens.

Was this intentionally removed? I do not see the use-case, especially as it allowed to selectively close multiple tabs quickly.

Thanks

Hi

I do not know why this was changed, but you can still copy and paste addresses from a private to a non-private browsing session.

I hope that this helps.
