Issue: www.hornetapp.com will not open in private window mode but does open in standard window mode.

I've tried opening the site on a different browser, namely Google Chrome, on both the private and standard windows and have not encountered any issues with site not opening.

Firefox 42+ has a Tracking Protection feature that is enabled by default in Private Browsing mode. When you are in private browsing mode then Firefox can show a shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar that some content is affected.

You can disable this feature in "Options/Preferences > Privacy" or via the about:privatebrowsing page that get when you open a New Private Window.
