User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:92.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/92.0

Steps to reproduce:

First, make sure the History in the Settings is set to "Never Remember History".

Then, open the "New private tab" window from right-clicking the taskbar icon.

This doesn't happen if you open it in the sidebar, because if History is turned off, it always opens with the "New Tab", whether you choose Normal or Private New window.

Actual results:

The New private window Tab says "about:privatebrowsing"

It should say "Private Browsing"

Hi fairfull.playing,

I tested this on Nightly 94.0a1, Beta 93.0, and Firefox 92.0, on Win10, and the issue reproduced in all the builds.

I´ll tag this as "NEW" for visibility, let´s wait for a developer to look into this.

Thanks,

Estanislao
