firefox hides tab when leaving the app

Elin

hi!

apologies if this has already been brought up. i tried searching for it but i don’t really know what to call it so i can easily have missed it.

for a while now my firefox app has hidden my open tab when i leave the app, like it previously only did in private tabs. i’ve attached a screenshot to show what i mean. is this a new privacy feature and can i turn it off? i’ve tried to look through all my settings and uninstalled and reinstalled the app (in case it was a bug) but it still does this. i used to rely on getting a quick look at my open tab while flipping through apps so how it’s now hidden all the time is really inconvenient for me.

thankful for any help with this!

Sorry for all the effort you've put into resolving this, it's unfortunately just a side effect of some unrelated work: support.mozilla.org/questions/1592219

TL;DR: This will be fixed in a version shipping this Sunday.
