private browsing
I tried the new private browser and now all my regular sites don't recognize me. I have to log in each time and they don't remember my previous settings. It's already very aggravating. How do I turn off the private browser?

You'll want to read this for Private Mode:

Use the regular Firefox icon to visit sites in windows that can store history, cookies, etc.
I have been using the regular Firefox icon to browse, but it still goes to private browsing.
Could you double-check that Firefox is not set to force private windows:
On the Settings page, Privacy & Security panel, History section, there's a general selector:
- Firefox will: Remember history => should be okay
- Firefox will: Never remember history => prevents restoring your session
- Firefox will: Use custom settings for history => need to check the details
With custom settings:
[_] Always use private browsing mode => must be un-checked [X] Remember browsing and download history => must be checked [?] Clear history when Firefox closes => use the Settings button to check what is being cleared and make sure that "Browsing & download history" and "Cookies" are NOT set to be cleared
