We can prevent this by adding the FLAG_SECURE flag to the layout params.

Hmm, I thought we already had this bug and found it was not so easy to get it working.

... Bug 807449, which has a test patch that did not work. Probably because the Android code was broken. Might be fixed now though.

See comment 12 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=807449#c12) and later. 

We might be able to fix this only on newer versions of Android, if it works at all.

Also, Chrome on Lollipop still shows the incognito tabs in the recent apps list
