Tested using Nightly on Linux
- Create a new Firefox profile
- In the settings set history to "Never remember history"
- Firefox will restart.
- Note the first tab has title "New Tab". It seems to be temporarily "Private Browsing" before switching to "New Tab"
If one very quickly after start creates more tabs (ctrl+t), all those tabs get "New Tab".
Only after some time tabs start to get "Private Browsing" as the title

This is an opposite of bug 1427186?

Oh, it is even weirder. After there has been "Private Browsing" tabs, one may get more "New Tab"s by creating and removing
tabs quickly.

Before bug 1353013, the tab title was always "New Tab".
Now, it appears that for preloaded tabs it is "Private Browsing", and otherwise it is "New Tab".
If you turn off preloading (browser.newtab.preload) all tabs go back to being "New Tab".
We probably need an exception in the preloading code to use "New Tab" for permanent private browsing windows, too.

Or if https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/2fcab997046ba9e068c5391dc7d8848e121d84f8/browser/base/content/tabbrowser-tabs.js#62-65 used non-private browsing title for pb profile, this would work too.
(It is a bit error prone that in some cases the title 'New Tab' comes from the page and some cases from tabbrowser-tabs.js)
