Private browsing window ignores search/address bar settings

When using a private browsing window firefox ignores search setting and privacy settings. I have search in address bar off. I have all search suggestions off. When I open a private window and start typing in the search bar, focus changes to the address bar and adds "Search Engine X" to the beginning of the address bar with what I was typing. This is not the behavior in my normal windows.

How do I get the private window to behave like a normal window for these settings.

FYI: I never want my address bar to do anything but accept URLs, this keyword, bangs garbage search suggestions are all security holes just waiting to be found. Let me turn off all non URL functionality of the "not-at-all-Awesome bar".
