### Describe the Bug
If you try to use Floccus in a private window of Firefox, Floccus isn't working. For example click on the Extension icon in your toolbar and the floccus window opens, but only shows a spinner. You have to open a non-private-window (normal window) to use Floccus and to be able to sync.
Floccus Extension is allowed to run in the private mode of firefox in the Firefox Extension Settings (Plugins list) already.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the spinner in Firefox v107.0 private browsing with Floccus 4.17.1 and compare it with a normal window, using the extension icon and sync flow described here. Trace the private-window startup and sync behavior; done means the extension opens and syncs in private windows as it does normally.
