PR https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/pull/4160 I propose disabling undo on private tabs. My comment on the bug: "This feature seems counter intuitive, that a private tab (thus highly ephemeral) is kept in some form of storage for undo. I acknowledge that as an advanced user I realize the storage is temporary memory."
landed on master. No more undo of 'close all private tabs' due to this feature being inconsistent with non-persistent nature of private tabs, and the option to undo closing the tabs might give the impression to the user the private tabs are persisted after closing.
