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.

Expected Behavior

Same behaviour as in a general firefox window

To Reproduce

Open a private window in Firefox and try to use Floccus.

@accforgithubtest commented on GitHub (May 22, 2024):

I just tried using floccus and ran into the same issue.

I understand this issue is quite old, but is there any workarounds for getting floccus to work in private windows in firefox ?
