 > Okay, I know it's late but I finally found time to test that with the
 9.0a4 release candidate. It does not seem to work for me. :( The URL shows
 up in the URL bar but nothing happens. Interestingly, the number of open
 tabs is 0, which seems to indicate that there is no private tab available.

 Yes. This is concerning. I saw this bug during my testing too, and I
 thought it was solved by correcting how it detects "Sanitize Tabs" is
 enabled.

 The cause of the bug was the "requested url" was put into the url bar at
 the beginning of the  startup process, but this is only for UX. The page
 is not actually requested and loaded until later in the startup process.
 The patch for this ticket delays page load further by waiting until
 sanitization is complete, tor is bootstrapped, and Gecko is loaded (or if
 sanitizing tabs is disabled, then it only waits until tor is bootstrapped
 and Gecko is loaded).
