A way to prevent the useless "private mode page warning" to load ?

CoryMH replied

Each time I enter private browsing in Firefox (32.0, Linux), there's a start page warning me I am running private browsing (sigh). This is totally useless, and prevents me to get tabs opened in private mode from external apps. Is there a way to remove/disable it ?

There is nothing in the source code:

A possibility is to use the Private Tab extension and open a new private browsing mode tab.

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

hmm ... Unfortunately, this can't help me, as I need a way to open tabs in private browsing mode from terminal without the start page getting in the way. But thanks anyway :)

This might be a poor workaround, but you could make another profile that only runs in Private Browsing mode. I think you could then open links in the terminal with firefox -P <profile_name> -no-remote <URL>
