Steps to reproduce: 1. Start Nightly 2. Install add-on "bookmark-it" build (https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/tree/master/build) 3. Go to about:preferences#privacy 4. Enable "Always use private browsing mode" > Restart Nightly now 5. Go to any sites (e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org) 6. Click "Bookmark it!" button on toolbar Actual results: Bookmark-it does not work, and icon is empty. Expected results: Bookmark-it works even if using private browsing mode.
