As an added bonus, this makes the temporal coupling between `setPrivateModeIfNecessary` and `setupThemeAndBrowsingMode` explicit. They previously would have broken if called in reverse order, now it will fail to compile.
This didn't function when 'open links in a private tab' was set. Rather than adding another sketchy fix for the edge case, following commits will change `usePrivateMode` to be maintained in memory, instead of in Settings.
This patch enabled support for an auto-publication workflow for android-components.
It automates a common pattern seen in local development:
Old way:
- after every change in a-c, publish it locally with a unique version (bumping it manually)
- manually modify Fenix to consume a custom version of a-c from a mavenLocal repository
New way:
- set a flag in fenix's local.properties to enable auto-publication
- run Fenix builds after making changes to a-c. Changes in a-c will be automatically picked up.
Note that no changes are necessary to any Fenix files other than a single flag in local.properties.
Manually bumping android-components version is also not necessary.
* Do not launch in Private Mode
When the app launches do not launch in Private Mode in order to prevent usage leaks to other users of the device.
