Don't open links in native app from private mode

A while ago Firefox for Android started giving prompts to open links in native apps while using private mode. It really doesn't make much sense to have this feature in private mode, as this obviously defeats the purpose of private browsing. I couldn't find any option to turn this off specifically for private mode. There is an option to turn this feature off completely, but that's not what I'm looking for. How do I get rid of this?
