I think this is the actual solution to the problem that 'private browsing' was trying to fix when it first came out.

Besides, 11 FAQ and a long blog post: I'm not sure they narrowed down the most focussed feature that would provide the most value and be used by the most number of users.
Still sounds like a pain to manage though, compared to this new feature.
If there had been a safe way to secretly store that history, by having seperate identitie's in Firefox, (with password protection and crypto, etc...), that would've solved that case nicely.
And if you clear that secret, protected identitie's history, we'd have had 'Private Browsing', but also a ton more.
Which we're about to get now, it seems.
This is different. Cookies and storage are separated, but history, bookmarks, passwords etc. are shared [1]
