// @description    By default, private windows are opened to about:privatebrowsing, regardless of your homepage or new tab page preferences. Once the window is opened, opening a new tab goes to your new tab page, and pressing the home button goes to your actual home page. But the first tab of a private window is always opened to about:privatebrowsing. This behavior is coded right into OpenBrowserWindow() but we can change it. This script simply removes the part of the function that manually sets the URL to about:privatebrowsing. So private windows will now behave like ordinary windows in this (and only this) respect.
