Hi, I am using Firefox Nightly. It keeps prompting me to lock my private tabs, I accidentally clicked it and now I need password/biometrics everytime to view my private tabs. How do I disable the lock? I cannot find it in settings/private browsing.

Hi Rafael,

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.
