Remove Private Browsing Homepage

So I essentially want to remove the Private Browsing Homepage and make it seem like it's a Normal Firefox Homepage, i.e. I wanna make it so that if I open a Private Browsing Window, it doesn't make it extremely obvious it is a Private Browsing Window.

I come from browsers like Vivaldi and Opera where this was already the norm, and I miss this feature in Firefox.

Help would be appreciated

Hello, I'm not sure there is a way to do this -- but you can quickly open a new tab so no one is aware.

Even new tabs have the same homepage. I want to remove the purple background and the text that says - Firefox will not save your history blah blah blah

Try editing with devtools.

If you set browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab = false then you can close the page with a middle-click on the tab bar.
