I know this wasn’t a bug fix. But it does sound like quite a niche use case. Does the built in browser sync not work for you, assuming you’re sharing the links between devices?
I’m personally sad they removed the button to open the current page in a non private tab. I use Firefox on mobile almost exclusively in private mode (yay for not collecting 100s of tabs), but sometimes I quickly want to save a tab between sessions without bookmarking it.
Like you, I used that button also daily. It’s so beyond frustrating and forces users to switch away from private tabs as the default. I need it specially when people send me Instagram links that I need to sign-in to watch.
Decluttering a mobile UI has nothing to do with funding issues. They likely have analytics showing how often these are used and you all are probably a very small minority of users. Write yourselves a simple extension to fix the issue.
Relevant XKCD.

@HereIAm @vermaden Yes… would also like that back. Open in private should almost be the default with that button to take non private.
Really think the funding situation with #mozilla has caused issues following user needs.
