When using Privacy Tabs there is a small privacy icon on the top of my Pixel 4 XL phone (latest version). It can be used to close the Privacy Tabs. I do NOT want that icon. It shows I am using the privacy feature. I do not want others to see that icon. How can I remove it?

Thank you in advance.

Open your notifications. There should be one called Firefox (Private). Long press the notification, and click Turn off notifications and toggle off the Private browsing session notification category. This will prevent the icon from showing.
