Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

This is for Firefox Focus on Android. I can't find a specific bug reporting page for Focus, so I'm assuming this is the right place.

Steps to reproduce:

Open any web page in Firefox Focus.

Actual results:

a notification appears given you the option to "open" or "erase history and open".
That notification never goes away, unless you explicitly terminate the app.
Switching to another app doesn't make it go away.
(Who actually quits apps on Android? I do that once every few weeks, not every hour or whatever)

Expected results:

I want a setting to disable this notification.

This notification is very annoying.
Notifications are supposed to be temporary, that's what "notification" means.

I don't see the purpose of a notification giving me the option to "open" the app. No other app does that, so why should this one?

I only wear a medium sized tin-foil hat, so I don't feel the need to delete my browsing history every 5 minutes.
