I have private browsing as default. How can I open a normal window?
Normally you have FF in privatebrowsing=false and to start an new priv-window you do shift-control-P. I'm in the opposite: I have privatebrowsing=true but sometimes I want to store history => I need a shortcut to open a regular window (non-private). Thanks.

- Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underline
- You can toggle Private Browsing mode on/off via the right-click context menu of a tab

Thanks Muhammad, but it is not my question; I already have browser.privatebrowsing.autostart=true because I want to work on private browsing 99% of the times; but sometimes I need to work saving history then my question is ... How can I open a FF window in non-private-browsing mode from a FF configuration with private mode as default? Thanks.
When your ff is working in secure mode open another firefox browser by just clicking the same icon on your desktop and then from the settings of the new browser use the normal mode. This will result in working of two firefox with different abilities. Hope you got the answer
For normal Browsing just follow the picture. Hope this will answer your question. :)

You can't! Private Browsing mode isn't made to work in that manner.
