On Nightly build 2016088551, I was given a pop-up to lock tabs in Private mode. I do not like this change, so I tried looking in settings to turn this off. I did not find the option to turn this off. How do I do so?

Hi there,

This is a known issue on Firefox for Android Nightly. However, now you should be able to disable the lock by going to Settings - Private browsing and disable the "Use screen lock to hide tabs in private browsing" option.
