Details
(Whiteboard: [sng][private-search])
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:155.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/155.0
Steps to reproduce:
- Install https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bang-search/
- Set it as the default search engine (it should prompt you)
- Make sure "Use a different default search engine in private mode" is turned off
- Disable all other search engines
- Restart firefox
- Open a private browser mode
Actual results:
The default engine selected in the private window was Google.
Expected results:
It should not have enabled Google, "Use a different default search engine in private mode", and should instead just have used the default Bang Search search engine.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Search' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I could not reproduce this issue with Firefox Nightly 159.0a1 and Firefox 158.0b4.
Would you be so kind as to check if the issue is still reproducible on your end with the latest nightly/beta build?
Thank you.
