Note that if we kill the app, then the proper page is restored but we still see a "flash" of the homepage (which relates to issue #10892).

In the current case when we background the app (and not killing the app) it's not just a flash anymore. When we background the app the navigation to the website doesn't happen. This bug is a side effect of the changes made for #11317.

For QA, we can make sure on top of what https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/browse/FXIOS-4578 ( https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/browse/FXIOS-4578|smart-link ) needed to be tested, that private mode hides webview/information properly when going to background.
