[Affected versions]:

- 65.0b4
- 66.0a1 (2018-12-11)

[Affected platforms]:

- Windows 10x64
- macOS 10.14

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Launch FF. 
2. Open multiple websites in new tabs.
3. Open about:performance.
4. Launch a private session.
5. Open multiple websites in new tabs of the private session.
6. Open about:performance.

[Expected results]:

- All the tabs(processes) contained in the normal session are contained in the task manager of the normal session.
- All the tabs(processes) contained in the private session are contained in the task manager of the private session

[Actual result]:
- It can be noticed that all tabs opened in either private or normal session are displayed in task manager of FF.

[Regression range]:
-Not a regression.

[Additional notes]:

- Having multiple tabs opened, both in normal and in private session may be confusing for the user.
I would suggest having session specific tabs displayed in task manager of FF, or at the very least, create a distinction in task manager of which tabs belong to normal vs private session.

As stated I would suggest we wontfix this bug, as a task manager is supposed to provide insights into every open tab that contributes to browser performance (and private tabs are not special in that regard). But I agree that it would be useful to have an indicator in the tab row or a separate column for tabs belonging to a private window or even another container.

Severity: normal → S3
