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.

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

Opening a new private window (via any method, keyboard shortcut or the button in the burger menu) will show the History sidebar for a very short while, then it disappears. This is very annoying as when I type the cursor is no longer automatically focused in the address bar.

138.0.1 Firefox Snap for Ubuntu

Hi, I am using Firefox Nightly. It keeps prompting me to lock my private tabs, I accidentally clicked it and now I need password/biometrics everytime to view my private tabs. How do I disable the lock? I cannot find it in settings/private browsing.

I'm sure if I just don't know how to use it correctly or maybe I installed to many extensions that are conflicting but the private browsers won't work. Anybody got idea why this would be.

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".

Despite turning all the ones I could find off, YouTube keeps preventing me from playing videos in my main browser saying I can't watch with adblockers on. So I've been opening all these tabs in private browsers. Wednesday night into Thursday morning I was playing a song I'd found but when the computer restarted it didn't reopen that page. Is there a way to find a private browser window I had open?

On Nightly build 2016088551, I was given a pop-up to lock tabs in Private mode. I do not like this change, so I tried looking in settings to turn this off. I did not find the option to turn this off. How do I do so?

i just updated firefox android nightly to 140.0a1 and found a new feature that drive me crazy: it's locked the private tab behind my android fingerprint/password every single time I'm open it (like, from private tab > go to home > enter firefox again)

and i want to disable it completely (please don't ask me to confirmed my fingerprint/password every single time I'm access private tabs) but can't find an option to do so in setting/about:config

so if anyone know how to disabled it please help

thank you

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
