Just had a pop-up notice that I was being put into "private browsing mode" and it wasn't going to remember anything for me. Say what? I did not see a yes/no option, so I clicked "Done" and by gods I now have a black bar across the top of the screen where all my saved tabs used to be. I don't see any indications how to reverse this, and I had to log back in to DU.

Any ideas?
