How to turn off some kind of privacy screen?

Firefox for iOS Browser security

On iphone, I noticed when i swipe out of the window to look at another open app (i dont close firefox when doing this) firefox puts up some kind of privacy screen that prevents me from seeing what i was browsing. is annoying because sometimes i need to compare what i’m looking up with another open app like in my photos or something. It’s also visually annoying when i just pull down the control bar to mess with a setting and it privates the screen. Can i turn this off? This happens in normal tabs, I don’t typically use private tabs nor am i in one when this happens.

This is definitely not intended, more info in support.mozilla.org/questions/1592219 — no news yet, I'll update the thread when I find out more.
