Hit file - new private window, FF opens new window (not private) for about 5 seconds, then immediately switches back to window that requested the new private window. This happens on three different machines at my location, all with Win 7.

This happens in safe mode?

Can you see what is the content of that tab?

This can be caused by a plugin like Flash that uses the plugin-container process in one of the tabs in that other window.

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum. After restarting in safe mode, i cannot get the failure to repeat. I've restarted in regular mode, and I've tried many permutations, with no luck. I use www.yahoo.com as my home page, so that appears when I open a private window. What does not happen is I don't get the purple glasses in the upper right.

Hi lionelbob, it's confusing, but... the purple glasses appear on private windows in a normal, non-private session, so you can tell them apart. When you start up automatically in a private session, then there are no purple glasses on any of the windows.

(Note: This is as of several versions ago, I haven't double-checked recently.)

Note that you won't get the purple mask if you are in permanent Private Browsing mode.
