I really hate the new version of private window which separated from the main Firefox windows group. I'm using windows and I pinned a lot of application in my taskbar and I don't need new one. I already making habit to use private browsing for lot cases daily since years ago using same window group and this new taskbar entry ruin my productivity.

Is there a way to disable this behavior? stop wasting space on my taskbar.

Thanks that did the trick! They should've include it in preference settings rather than in config registries.
