Fenix: [Bug] Persistent notification for private mode

[thelazyoxymoron]

Steps to reproduce

Open a private tab.
Go to the notification bar and select the option for "DELETE AND OPEN"
Exit the browser.
Pull down the notification bar again. The Firefox Private bar is still there.

Expected behavior

There shouldn't be any persistent notification for private mode. Even there is one, it should go away when the private mode is exited.

Actual behavior

Persistent notification is displayed, despite exiting the app.

Device information

• Android device: Mi A1 Android 9
• Fenix version: 1.4.0

I disagree. It's a great privacy feature already known from other browsers like Firefox Focus and Chrome.

Even there is one, it should go away when the private mode is exited.

Switching to the Android home screen is not "exiting the app". You can use the Android recent apps view to really "exit" the app. If you use the recent apps screen to "exit the app" the notification already goes away, this works in Firefox Preview 1.4.

But the notification should go away when switching to the Android home screen and there are zero private tabs. And that's a bug in Firefox Preview 1.4 because it doesn't work. But it's already fixed in Firefox Preview Nightly.

Yes this should be fixed in the next release. Closing as a dupe of #5075
