I'm currently on the latest Nightly builf of firefox via the play store: version 143.0a1

It has been a few updates already, but I am annoyed at the need for a couple clicks or seconds for me to navigate to a private tab.

In the stable version of firefox, users can click the glasses icon at the top right corner of the home page to toggle private tabs.

At the time of this writing, Nightly users need to either…

Now my question: is there a way to bring back the glasses icon on the home page for quick toggling private tabs? I do not want to enable private tabs by default.

Things I tried with no luck: - enabling the secret menu - toggling random stuff in the secret menu - uninstalling and re-installing firefox nightly

As of now, I'm dealing with the extra friction, but it is annoying.

Hi Will

Thank you for helping test future updates to Firefox for Android in the Nightly channel.

As you may be aware, the Nightly version is a test build and may have some unresolved issues. I recommend that you file a bug so that these can be looked into. Please see File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
