Screenshot of taskbar icons
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0
Steps to reproduce:
Upgraded to Firefox 106 (actually 106.0.1).
Opened private tab
Actual results:
Private tab is shown using a separate distinct taskbar icon (see image)
This is too obvious to anyone looking over my shoulder.
Expected results:
The old style, where the private tab was not shown separately in the taskbar, did more to protect my privacy.
