Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is correct behavior? Say another person was trying to look at our app switcher/phone and such - we wouldn't want sensitive information like that to be easily accessed right? Is this the same motivation behind blurring private browsing tabs in the app switcher as well?

This was intentionally done to protect sensitive data.

Maybe I was misunderstood but I do not think this is the desired behavior. When in app switcher it is understandable that the screen is blurred in order to protect sensitive information but when returning to the application the login screen will remain blurred and the logins can open in edit mode by tapping on them. This issue occurs without setting up passcode functionality  Please see a video of the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw1fxXTQ8YQ.

Yup this looks like a bug and regression from some recent fixes we did to the passcode logic. Definitely valid.

Also note that when passcode/touch ID functionality is set on, when following the above STR and returning to the Firefox, no passcode/touch ID is requested.

I wasn't able to reproduce this. When I come back to the login screen from the App switcher it prompts me for my password. Once I enter my password everything works fine. 

If you can reproduce this on the latest nightly please feel free to reopen it!

I'm also not able to reproduce this issue on latest master or release.
