There is a "(Private Browsing)" suffix in the window title if permanent private browsing mode is activated. The suffix should not be shown in that case.

Why we want this behavior? It is now harder to know whether you're in PB mode, isn't it?

We don't want to keep reminding you that you are in *permanent* PB mode all the time. We want Firefox in that mode to look similar to regular mode but just don't store any local data about your browsing. We still set the window title for normal PB mode.

Because it is an explicit choice that you make in the Preferences dialog. We don't keep reminding you that you have changed other settings there all the time either.
