All the incognito browser windows share the same “session” in Firefox. So say you open an Incognito window to browse Facebook or something, then you open another Incognito window, this new incognito window is linked to the previous incognito window, meaning you are logged into Facebook at that new Incognito window as well. This is because, as I explained before, all the incognito windows share the same “session”

The only way to clear incognito window is to close ALL of them and then create a new incognito window. You dont have to close the main non incognito Firefox window though, just close all the incognito windows. Then open a new one, now your previous session is destroyed and you are new again.

You may know it but its not that common knowledge as it should have been

    And it works with hidden tabs, and thus by extension, with the tab groups add-on.

    I have a whole group of tabs for uploading add-ons that have their own session, and the group’s behavior is persistent. And I can switch to them on the fly. When not in use, I don’t see them there at all.

      I need to twiddle some settings. I can’t get the exact behavior I want yet but I’d like to do pretty much what you are.
