Using 83.1.0. I have it configured such that whenever I start the browser, it starts in private browsing mode. It always has this explanation of what private browsing is about. I can't tell it to stop showing that text, which I don't need to see any longer. And I can't see the home page. If I go to non-private mode, there is the home page. However, I am unable to click on anything in the home page and have it open in a private tab. It always opens in a non-private tab.

Please fix the browser so that I can see the home page in private browsing mode, and if I click on a link on the home page, it will open in a private tab, too.

OK, I need to correct something I stated here. When I look at the home page in non-private mode, I can open top sites and most visited sites in private mode by long-clicking. What I can not do is open a tab from one of my collections in private mode. Am I doing something wrong?
