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

      I can confirm that this is the case with Microsoft Edge (I know, I know, it’s required for work), which is Chromium-based, so I would be very surprised if Chrome differs significantly in this.

      For the record, I don’t think safari works this way. Every incognito window has its own session I believe
