 is the default in desktop, we want to have the same default in mobile.
 Which of those themes (or even a custom one) are the default is a long
 discussion happening at #10399. So, for the TBA release could we have the
 same UX you got in the latest nightly but with the light/default theme?

 tabs, like Fennec does, is the easy solution and tells the user "you are
 currently using private tabs". But, this should be the default in Tor
 Browser, so maybe that visual indicator isn't needed.

 > I agree. The default in Tor Browser is a private tab + a lot of other
 things. Yesterday we talked about having or not the word "private" at the
 label menu items. Maybe, is redundant (and not accurate) to have `New
 Private Tab` in the Tor Browser. Just `New Tab` seems better. Could re-
 name `New Private Tab` to `New Tab` on the kebab menu?

 #25660 might be relevant here. Where we had been thinking about "New
 Private Window" vs. "New Window".
