**Suggested severity** * S2 **Affected versions** * Fx83.0b4 **Affected platforms** * Win 10 x64 * Ubuntu 18.04 **Steps to reproduce** 1. Launch Firefox beta. 2. Open a private browsing window. 3. Click inside the websearch bar (middle of the window). 4. Start typing something. **Expected result** * A drop-down with search suggestions is opened beneath the websearch bar. **Actual result** * The search is handed off to the awesome bar (address bar). **Regression range** * This is not a regression, as I could reproduce the issue all the way back to Fx67.0b3 when the websearch was introduced in Private Browsing. **Additional notes** * The "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar" is set to false by default in beta builds. * Websearch is not handed off to awesomebar in normal browsing windows.
