Hello mctreevil, i think it is not possible to start in private browsing when open firefox but not permanently in private browsing mode !

you have to use multiple profiles.

thank you

You can use an extension to get Private Browsing mode support per tab.

• Private Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/private-tab/
• Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underline
• You can toggle Private Browsing mode on/off via the right-click context menu of a tab
