i just updated firefox android nightly to 140.0a1 and found a new feature that drive me crazy: it's locked the private tab behind my android fingerprint/password every single time I'm open it (like, from private tab > go to home > enter firefox again)

and i want to disable it completely (please don't ask me to confirmed my fingerprint/password every single time I'm access private tabs) but can't find an option to do so in setting/about:config

so if anyone know how to disabled it please help

thank you

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.
