## Description

Open Incognito is a Firefox extension that enhances private browsing by allowing users to open links in the most recently accessed private window, rather than opening a new one. Unlike Firefox's default behavior which only lets you open links in a new private window from the context menu, this extension streamlines the process and improves user experience for private sessions. With Open Incognito, managing multiple private windows becomes easier and more efficient, making your private browsing seamless and more organized.
