Can i disable start private browsing - mac 10.5.8

don't want user to have the option to turn on private browsing. can i disable start private browsing - mac 10.5.8, firefox 3.6.11

Sorry, the developers didn't provide a switch to turn Private Browsing off. Another Firefox user has come up with a way to do it, but it requires some skill to save and install the necessary code. <br />

  • Can we remove Start Private Browsing from Tool list, but use Ctlr + Shift + P instead?

    Is it possible to move the word "Start Private Browsing" from the Tool List because it can create suspect or accuse to use it, I prefer to have it dissect like using the keyboard (use Ctlr + Shift + P) to start private browsing.

    You can modify the appearance of Firefox via two customization files.
    The customization files userChrome.css for the user interface and userContent.css for websites are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder, but aren't there by default.<br />
    You may need to create the <b>chrome</b> folder and the <b>userChrome.css</b> (the names are case sensitive).<br />
    Make sure to use a plain text editor like Notepad.exe and make sure to have all files selected when you save the file as userChrome.css to avoid that the editor appends a .txt file extension (userChrome.css.txt).

  • Can I disable just private browsing on my iPhone?

    I need to know if it's possible to disable the private browsing feature in Safari on my iPhone without disabling the browser itself.

    Hi!
    In iOS 7 on the iPhone or ipad:
    One way to do it is by adding a restriction on adult content.  Click settings, restrictions (make a password), them scroll down to "websites" under allowed content (below the list of things to allow or not allow), then select "limit adult content."  Poof... No more private browsing option in safari.

  • How can I completely remove and/or disable the Private Browsing feature in 3.6?

    I want to run my browser without the Private Browsing feature even usable. Is there a way to not only remove the feature, but also to remove it from the Tools menu?

    There is no built-in way to remove or disable the feature. You can hide the menu options but the keyboard shortcut to start private browsing will still work. For details see this thread - [https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_offset=0&comments_threadId=0&comments_parentId=576657&comments_threshold=0&thread_sort_mode=commentDate_asc&forumId=1&time_control=3600#threadId576657 How do i block the private browsing option from my children?]
    Even with the menu options hidden it is still possible to delete browsing history. If you want to keep track of all sites visited you will need an external option.

  • My kids use firefox on my computer. Is it possible to disable the private browsing feature so they can not go on and use it ?

    I want the computer to keep a history of all the site they have searched, but can not know for sure if they turn on/off the private browsing function. Is it possible to disable the private browsing function and put a lock / password on it ?
    Thanks,
    David

    Even if it was possible to remove or disable "Private Browsing" then that still won't make it impossible to delete private data like visited websites (history) or cache or cookies.<br />
    There are a lot of ways to clear such data, either via [[Clear Recent History]] or directly by deleting the History in the Library or sidebar.<br />
    Private Browsing makes it easier because all data is kept in memory and nothing is saved to disk, so nothing needs to be removed.<br />
    <br />
    If you want to see which sites have been visited then you should look at others means outside Firefox like a router or firewall with a password protected logging feature that can't be bypassed or a program like Wireshark.

  • How can I use In Private browsing alongside already open regular browsing window?

    Hi,
    Whenever we start Private browsing, the existing tabs and windows we are currently working on closes and reopens only when the Private browsing is stopped. What we exactly need is, a new Private browsing window should open so that we could work on all the tabs which are currently open. Is there anyway to do this?
    Thanks for your good deed with FF4. It's just awesome!

    (also looking a solution)
    There was an addon that did exactly this but it's discontinued now. It probably worked the same way as you laid out here.
    Now is there another add-on that does the same thing?

    Can I use the "Private browsing" mode on mobile?

    Firefox for mobile does not yet have a built-in Private Browsing mode. However, you can do private browsing in a separate or temporary profile, by running "fennec -P" in the N900's Terminal app, or by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/mobile/addon/mobile-profiles/ Mobile Profiles] add-on.

  • How can I start Private Browsing when I do not have a "Firefox button" to click?

    "Open a new, blank Private Window
    At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select New Private Window. A new Private Window will open.
    That is what it says! But where is this Firefox button at the top of my Firefox (v 20.0.1) window? What I have at the top of the window is:
    (1) A blue-background bar with the Firefox icon and the title of the current page
    (2) 2 grey-background bars with menus (e.g. File, Edit, ...) and buttons
    (3) 1 grey-background bar with the Bookmark Toolbar
    (4) The Tab bar
    But no Firefox button, and none available in the customise dialog. Have I suppressed it somehow?

    hello, the private browsing window is accessible through the file menu that you've referenced too - or you can use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+p.
    if you want to get the default userinterface with the firefox button though, go to view > toolbars & disable the menu bar...

  • Can I start private browsing in just one tab?

    Is there a way (plugin or other) to have just one tab started in private mode instead of the whole browser?

    The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59736/ Private Browsing Window] add-on does almost exactly what you want. I would use that.
    However, it only opens a new window that is in Private Browsing mode. You can't just open a Private Browsing tab in the same window as regular tabs.
