Description

Bug Description

I found an issue with a Firefox extension. Even though the extension is allowed to run in private windows, the LiveDebugger DevTools side panel remains empty when opened in a private window.

Actual Behavior

Blank page in LiveDebugger DevTools window.

Expected Behavior

I expected it to work the same as in normal browsing mode, just like in other browsers such as Brave.

Steps to Reproduce
