Firefox Community Forum

I look at porn on my Android phone. I use Private Browsing to do so. Why are my Private Browsing addresses appearing as Firefox Suggest results that appear outside of Private Browsing as well? And why does Pornhub show me a personalized home page when I'm using Private Browsing? None of these pages are in my browser history because I've only accessed them via Private Browsing. But these "features" sort of defeat the purpose of it don't you think?

I've just switched from Chrome to Firefox and never had this issue with Chrome.

It's not that they are not in my Firefox downloads manager, which I expected. It's that I confirmed before closing my private browsing window that they were in my Downloads folder on my C drive, and when I went back after closing the private browsing window they were gone. Under "recent files" in my file browser it showed a couple of the most recent downloads and when I tried to click to open them it said they had been moved or deleted. Entering the first couple words of the file titles in the search bar in my file browser yields absolutely nothing.

This was over 30 files or so. It will be really irritating to try to find and download all of them again. Does anyone know of any way for me to get them back???

second time asked pay attention and answer the question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how does one stop private browsing and then when wanted reset back to private simple question now answer

Why is the sessionstore.jsonlz4 generated from a private firefox window ? It is not private anymore if the session is stored in place of the regular session, which by the way happens not to be generated when the regular firefox window is closed while a private firefox window is still open. The private firefox window should have no effect on the regular session storage and should never be stored, all this is very confusing.

Hi,

I recently discovered that macOS Screen Time is reporting my Firefox usage under the name “Firefox: Private, Safe Browser.” and just the name "Firefox". My family is suspecting that I am using private model for the screen time of "Firefox". However, I have never used Private Browsing mode.

This mislabeling is causing misunderstandings at home, as it appears I’m hiding something, which I am not. Could this be a misclassification by macOS, or is there something in Firefox’s app packaging that triggers this name?

I would greatly appreciate any clarification or assistance. Thank you.

Best,

Edit:

I tested on my Mac again today. Even though I am using Firefox Private Mode, I only have one screen time usage, just called "Firefox: Private, Safe Browser".

Due mostly to upgrades in the app software, it's necessary to restart Firefox on occasion. Also, it's necessary due to OS upgrades. While the Restore Previous Session is a wonderful feature, it arbitrarily (and properly, by default) forgets all of the Private Tabs. But, there are times when I'd like to save some or all of the Private Tabs I've got open. A 'settable' feature to 'Remember Private Tabs during Restart' would be a tremendous asset at times.

I don't understand why a page is not opening in normal windows, but it opens in private windows. I have tried to clear the cache, but I still have the same problem. Not all URLs have this issue; just some of them.

Здравствуйте. Предпочитаю работать в режиме "Инкогнито". Интересует есть ли возможность при входе в аккаунт в этом режиме чтоб автоматически восстанавливались последние вкладки и куки? Но при этом чтоб куки не хранились на компьютере или автоматически удалялись после выхода из аккаунта
