Clone Tab from Normal Window to Private Window
-
I was slightly surprised that this was not possible at all. The title of the request is self explaining.
Currently, I must copy the link of the desired tab and then open a new private window, or use an existing one. -
@AltCode I don't use Private Windows, but it does not surprise me at all. A cloned tab stores your browsing history in that tab, along with other things.

Since
2.2there is a workaround to clone a tab with all of it history in opposite way (Private => Normal)
- select tab you want to clone holding
Ctrl - right click and select "save as session" from popup menu
- load this session in normal window
I found a bug there (tabs are loaded as pinned / reported as
VB-47199) but generally it worksIt does not work in direction that You wanted because of another bug ("Open session in new window" checkbox is not respected in private windows / reported as
VB-47198).Anyway nobody (on this forum) could tell me if saving sessions in private windows is bug or feature despite I asked.
- select tab you want to clone holding
