How to stop privacy window from opening by default
I am curious as to why every tab that is opened is a Private tab? I use this for work and the firewall does not like it at all and I can not find out how to swap it back to normal windows.

If your Firefox opens all windows in private browsing -- no history is retained -- you can change that on the Options/Preferences page --
- Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
- Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
- Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
- Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it
In the left column, click Privacy & Security, then scroll down to the History section. Either of these will invoke automatic private browsing:
- Firefox will: Never remember history
- Firefox will: Use custom settings for history + "Always use private browsing mode"
Either change to:
- Firefox will: Remember history
- Firefox will: Use custom settings for history and UNCHECK "Always use private browsing mode"
Firefox will need to restart after that change.

Did you open the first window in Private Browsing?
I did not, it opens as soon as i open the browser and every tab after that.
