FF as the default browser. is it possible to set such that when I open links on other apps, firefox launches a private window for those links?

there seems a similar option but it has a side effect, FF normal launch also becomes private (incognito).

On android, I have "open links in a private tab" turned on. When I open the app, it launches normally and if I open a link from a normal tab, the link opens in a normal tab as well.

I'm on android but the app launches on private window. peculiar.

I think, it reopens on what you left it at when you closed it the last time. Well, unless you swipe it out of the Recent Apps list, then it will reset to normal browsing.
