Hi,
I really have no idea about how to fix that issue... So unless you can help, I'm afraid I won't be able to fix it :/

@Jackymancs4 I haven't digged it yet, but it seems that I can open a new tab (instead of new window) in private mode which is what @Clef-0 is looking for ^^

I'll take an eye on it and keep you update here 🐻

While I hope so, the title of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1372178 says

WebExtension cannot open private browsing tabs or "windows" on Android

and the reasoning why is that is unfortunately pretty sound.

browser.windows is not available on Android and browser.tabs cannot create an incognito tabs

Still, I hope you'll find a way 👍🏻
