So somehow my "New Tab" window shows up when I'm in a private window... What I did was to go open up a private window, enter a malicious website, proceed to visit it, then click on "Get me out of here!".

The default home page (getDefaultHomePage()) is opened when Firefox can't go back in the history. This is the same in normal mode and in private browsing mode.

function getMeOutOfHere() | goBackFromErrorPage() | getDefaultHomePage() chrome://browser/content/browser.js

It's fine. I reported this to Bugzilla since this was a bug. They already know what the problem was but they're not gonna fix this since it's not a major bug. Thanks for trying to help, though.
