When I close FireFox with a private browsing window open, firefox loses all my tabs. Where can I suggest a change for that behavior?

I had 106 tabs opened, I was given a warning about closing multiple tabs, chose not to be notified. And bam I remember how I lost my tabs ages ago while browsing privately, opened to check, and there I was on the start page. And the "restore previous session" option is greyed out. 

Luckily when I chose "restore all windows" I got my tabs back. But seriously, it should be simpler, I should not have to make my brain work so much just to find a session.

Why is it that firefox forgets a normal session just because there's a private one still opened?

One of the main features of Private Browsing is that it doesn't save browsing history, which were opened in "tabs" or windows.
