When you open firefox private mode, it says leave no trace. Assuring users that whatever happens in their private session, stays in that session, but this is a blatant lie and firefox knows this. Go to any site that has cookies, or user login, or something similar. login into the site. Than simply remove firefox from ram. Now open firefox again, go to private mode, and go to that site. Most of the time, it still remembers the user. This issue has been present for far too long, not addressed, still pushed to the users that it is safe to use. Instead of warning the users, it is promoting them to use it by saying leaves no trace in this new update. This is unacceptable.

Hey guys, I'm here to report two questions,First, in Firefox Nightly Android version,I tried to close I tried to turn off the "Install and Run Research" button and reopen it to see if there will be any updates, but it deleted all my test features. Since nightly has a lot of my data on it, I didn't try to reinstall the app reproduction. In addition, there is a translation problem, I downloaded all the language packs to the local, and set "Always open translation" for them, but almost never took effect. And browser itself has a considerable power consumption....Hope to optimize some

It started with Amazon/Kindle. Couldn't buy books through the Amazon App so I had a workaround which put me into the full site amazon.co.uk. Not anymore. Firefox redirects me into the App regardless. I can only get into the full site now by uninstalling Amazon Shopping. That's silly. Now, Firefox is blocking legitimate site links from my emails, like Greenpeace, for example. Variations on "site blocked" messages. Switching to DuckDuckGo avoids all these issues. I've been with Firefox for decades and would rather stick with you - I have two VPN accounts (and 12 machines) with you as well. Jon Lisle-Summers, [email address]

I'm currently on the latest Nightly builf of firefox via the play store: version 143.0a1

It has been a few updates already, but I am annoyed at the need for a couple clicks or seconds for me to navigate to a private tab.

In the stable version of firefox, users can click the glasses icon at the top right corner of the home page to toggle private tabs.

At the time of this writing, Nightly users need to either…

---

Now my question: is there a way to bring back the glasses icon on the home page for quick toggling private tabs? I do not want to enable private tabs by default.

Things I tried with no luck: - enabling the secret menu - toggling random stuff in the secret menu - uninstalling and re-installing firefox nightly

---

As of now, I'm dealing with the extra friction, but it is annoying.

I came from kiwi browser & they had a customized button beside the bottom address bar that can be use as shortcuts.

One of the shortcuts that cna be mapped is extensions. Can Firefox add something like that? That would make ur browser much better? Could be enabled disabled so it's by choice

I launched Firefox the usual way with a private browsing shortcut today and it opened a regular, non-private window. I checked the settings to select again "Add private browsing shortcut" and went in the app drawer to make sure I was tapping the right one. Still, a regular, non-private window. Rebooting the phone did nothing. App is in the latest release version.

Opening a private window is still possible by tapping the mask icon in the initial non-private window or by long pressing the shortcut and choosing New private tab, but that in no way replaces actually launching the browser in private mode as default like the app itself promises and used to do. According to Reddit, I'm not the only one experiencing this.

How software gets updates with such a glaring flaw is beyond me and I can't decide whether it is worse if this is an accident or intentional.
