Steps to reproduce:

Before the introduction of the search start page there was (obviously) no search page when opening a private browing window.

At its introduction a pref was added to toggle the new start page.

Now, since the removal of that pref (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1556867) it's no longer possible to avoid search on the private browsing page, even when it's disabled on normal new windows/tabs.

The private browsing start page should instead just respect the "Web Seach" tick box from about:preferences#home.
