Safari - tabs migrated into Private mode, want them back normal

I have an iPad mini6, with the current version of IOS and Safari. In Safari, I have a page with over 200 tabs from various searches. Yesterday, all of those tabbed pages flipped into Private browsing mode and I have no idea how to get them back into normal browsing mode. I’ve tried hitting the double tabs, that doesn’t do anything. The tabs that were in Private mode (5) have vanished. IDC about those private tabs missing, but the 200+ that have flipped have info that’s outside the history and copying/pasting is going to be very time consuming.

iPad mini 6, iPadOS 15

Greetings RaymondKevin,

We understand that the tabs you had open in Safari are now in Private Browsing. Before you make any changes to your iPad, as we’d like to not have you risk losing any of the tabs, do you use iCloud to sync open tabs to any other devices? Though this wouldn’t sync private tabs, since they were previously not private, we’d like to determine if those tabs show open on any other devices.

Here’s how to check on other devices, if that’s an option - Set up and use iCloud Tabs

Thank you.
