When entering private browsing mode (PBM), we show the "Search Tabs" bar and not the URL bar. I find it really easy to confuse the search tabs input with the URL bar and have attempted to type URL's into it by mistake. My confusion may be due to how when entering PBP with no existing tabs, we now require opening a new tab and then typing in a URL. I think that was a recent change, but I'm not sure. Additionally, the "Search Tabs" bar is displayed even when there are no existing tabs. (See screenshot.)
Priority: -- → P2
hiding the filter bar when not relevant seems right to me. Does this mean it should be hidden when there are under four or fewer tabs?
Priority: P2 → P3
Severity: normal → S3
