Is there any way to start Firefox for Android in private browsing mode by default ?

I have tried searching here (didn't find a solution) and also tried changing the setting in about:config but that didn't work.

It would also be nice to set FF for Android to clear private data on exit/quit.

Solutions to either problem would be greatly appreciated.

I am from Bangladesh. I have to frequently visit Bangla websites. Although chrome and opera mini supports Bangla Firefox for Android does not( What is the problem with Firefox). At least I could not find a way. Can anyone help me to see Bangla in Firefox?

In Firefox for Android, I can open tools, downloads & see the .exe file that I want to install but when I highlight it to install it, the highlight blinks off. How do I install this software to my Samsung Tab 2?

I am writing an app for android (version 4+) that have to display a html5 page. In default it uses the stock browser engine including the android api restrictions (for example the

After a fresh install, Firefox loads websites very fast with almost no lag. After a few weeks, it becomes slower and slower. Getting to the point where it wil take aboit 20 seconds to display the Top Sites/Bookmarks window. Then sometimes opening a page, the loading circle stops moving and it freezes the phone. After about 15 seconds everything works again. The only way I found to fix this horrendous problem is to go into control panel for Firefox and Clear Data. I dont like doing that because I lose all of my bookmarks. It seems the Cache always shows "0 bytes" so there never is nothing to clear out. I would like to know where this "Reset" function is for Android. I see they have it for Windows versions..but what about Android?

My phone is an HTC Rezound running stock Android 4.0.3 Thanks in advance.

I updated Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S2, and after opening the new version I discovered my bookmarks were gone. Is there any way I can get them back?

Not sure if this is relevant, but when I look at the Application settings, it shows firefox has about 400MB of data. I have no cleared this data as I feel the bookmark info may be included in that somewhere? But is there any way to access it?

On my PC I clicked "Set Up Sync" and then "I Have an Account" ans it asks to enter the code on my other device. So I went onto my Android Samsung Galaxy Nexus and opened Firefox.

Went to the home screen and there is not Sync button. Only; Top sites, Your tabs from last time, Add-ons for your Firefox, and Synced Tabs.

Going to More -> Settings -> Sync -> Account with Firefox Sync. It only shows an option to not sync and says when it last synced. The more only shows; Sync now, remove account and help.

Where do I enter the code on my Android so I can set up Firefox Sync on my PC?

Have had a lot of problems with Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S2 running ICS 4.0.3. It will often hang, consume lots of RAM and overheat the phone. Sometimes killing all tasks helps sort this out but I normally end up having to reboot the phone (or remove the battery and replace) to be sure that the overheating stops. I've since wiped my phone and installed Firefox on the clean factory setting just in case some other app was interfering with Firefox's ability to function. I'm sad to say that it continues to behave in the same way. I'm an adamant user of Firefox and do not want to change browser so I make do but this issue happens at least once a day which is a bit worrying for the temperature of my phone and very frustrating since I have to reboot every time.

What's the easiest way to diagnose the issue? What steps should I take to figure out the cause of the problem? (I've already tried the obvious uninstall, reboot, install)
