Inconsistent use of "New private window" vs "New window"

We do not consistently use "New private window" vs just "New window":

  • In the File menu, firefox shows it as "New private window (Ctrl+N)". We have it hidden entirely: #42362 (closed).
  • In the app menu, firefox shows both "New window (Ctrl+N)" and "New private window (Ctrl+Shift+P)". We show only "New window (Ctrl+N)".
  • In the link context menu, firefox only shows "New private window". We do not modify this.
  • In the bookmarks window, firefox only shows "New window". We do not modify this.
  • In the tor circuit display ".tor.onion" alias, we copy the "New private window" from the link context menu.

Note that the original issue #25660 (closed) only seemed to focus on the app menu.

This inconsistency should probably be upstreamed, related to bugzilla bug 1738027.
