When closing all private tabs, don’t open a new tab

Vlad

LAJVXO It is not clear what you mean - can you show a video of how the Orion behavior is different?

In the video attached, the first browser is safari. When I close the private tab, it stays in the overview, allowing me to switch to a regular tab easily. The second browser is Orion. When I close the private tab, it opens a new tab automatically, then I have to press the tab overview button first before I can change to a regular tab.

Brief Summary
I should be able to close all private tabs without the Start Page appearing.

Details:
When leaving Private Mode, I almost always swipe away all my open tabs and expect some confirmation that all my tabs have been closed. (E.g., in Safari, swiping away all Private tabs shows a Private-tab explanation.)

When all Private tabs are closed in Orion, a new tab is opened. For my use case this is not helpful.

Another gesture is needed to access the [leave private mode] button.
After a second or two, I forget whether I'm in Private or [public] mode. (See https://orionfeedback.org/d/5336-private-mode-should-be-more-obvious)

This regressed in a recent release.

It's true, this is happening again.

Regressed yet again. Can we get some tests in place to prevent this?
