I used to cbe able to check the result of html code by using firefox private browsing page. It was so useful as I could see exactly what i was aiming to achieve, and make amendments. I have either forgotten how to use this, or you no longer have this facility where I can find it. Please advise how I can use this facility now. Your private page looks completely different to the one I used to use.

Perhaps it helps to explain what you are trying to achieve and what you remember. I am not aware of significant changes to Private Browsing.

Mainly PB is going to slightly isolate your tab|page as it does not use cookies that may have otherwise been set. There is also now a containers option which may be useful but is not enabled by default.

Firefox has a wealth of built in tools, many of which are enabled by default:

Many thanks for your reply John. I seem to recall when I used to use PB I got a black page to which I pasted my html code then got the image of what I would see as a result of this code. I am not too skilled with html I should say.

Now I get a page with instructions on it when I open a PB page on firefox. I cannot get beyond this page to do anything more. It is not as Iremember at all.

Not sure what you were using. Maybe it was the scratchpad and you were using javascript
