Can I permanently disable private browsing

We use covenant eyes to track all internet activity on our devices, but private browsing prevents this from being 100% accurate. We can see that private browsing has been used, but we don't know what was accessed. Can we permanently disable private browsing or lock with parental controls?

I am trying to download/install the Mozilla "Disable Private Browsing" add-on/extension. (See this link to see the add-on I'm referring to: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/disable-private-browsing/)
However, whenever I try to download it/install it, it says "Disable Private Browsing could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 20.0"
How can I fix this?? Is there another Disable Private Browsing add-on that IS compatible with Firefox 20.0??

How can I disable private browsing for middle school students on school laptops?

Hello, I work for a school district and one of the schools within the district is a digital academy meaning the students work completely with laptops. The grade level of these students range from 6th to 12th grade. We need to be able to install pulgins to block explicit content and then disable private browsing's ability to subvert them. They are working on laptops provided by the school with an ubuntu linux derivative running on them. the version of firefox is 5. I have tried the solution from http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Dickvl/Private_Browsing_disable
and it works with firefox 4 but not 5. Please Help! No matter how closely a child is watched you cannot watch them all the time and parents as well as teachers need to know what kids are up to.
-Thanks

Thanks dmcritchie! I was out all last week on summer break so I was pleasantly surprised to find your post and to find that you are right!

I just noticed Private browing option, has this been downloaded or automatically added? I dont want my kids up to no good, as how can i check what they're looking at? Can you delete the private browser?

Can you delete the private brower option

That has been a feature in Firefox since Firefox 3.5 was released in June, 2009, it's not '''new'''.
Sorry, that feature can't be "removed" without breaking a security part of Firefox, and the developers didn't provide a "switch" to allow parents to turn it off. What's even worse it that there is a Bug filed to disable Private Browsing when the Parental Control's that are built into Windows Vista and Windows 7 are turned on. Nothing has been done to fix that Bug in almost 2 years since that Bug was originally filed. <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471658 <br />
Hell, there hasn't even been a comment posted in that Bug in almost 7 months. I have done everything I can do as a support helper to make the developers aware of how important this Bug is for parents, based upon parental feedback here - that has been accepted as ''' "Thanks .... So it's on average 2 requests for this per week." '''
In all honesty though, even if that Bug is fixed a child can just delete their browsing history in any browser quite easily; sure you'll see that it has been deleted, but you still won't know where they have been. You really need to install some Parental Controls on that PC that tracks the web sites that are being visited outside of a web browser, and can only be accessed with a password.
I don't have any recommendations for that type of software, as I haven't needed it myself. Never had any children, and if I did even my grand-children would probably be old enough not to need monitoring like that.

You can set the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes pref to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first start after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.

You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue

How Can I desable the private browsing?

I'm trying to use Tumblr and others apps. and I can't have access to my acount cause it appears a message telling me that I have to check out my cookies preferences more expecific private browsing.

The developers didn't provide any method of disabling or hiding the Private Browsing feature.
You can hide the Menu items for turning Private Browsing on and off, but the keyboard command will still turn it on:
Add this code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.

There's a Bug filed to disable Private Browsing when "parental controls" are enabled, but that won't help WinXP users - only Vista & (probably) Windows 7 users - but there's been no action to even work on that Bug.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471658
See comment#26, by me, and the response it generated from one of the developers. The developers seem unwilling to do anything, even to restore Firefox 3.5+ versions to the previous state - sans Private Browsing.

How do I disable private browsing on my computer?

I don't want anyone to be able to private browse using my computer.

There is no built-in option to disable private browsing. You can remove the menu items for opening private browsing, but it will still be possible to access it using a keyboard shortcut. For details see this thread - [https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=434922&forumId=1 How do I disable private browsing?]

Is there a way to delete (not disable) "Private Browsing" function so it isn't available to my teenagers?

# Question
Is there a way to delete (not disable) "Private Browsing" function so it isn't available to my teenagers?

It is strongly discouraged to delete nsPrivateBrowsingService.js as it can cause Firefox to malfunction.

How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?

Hi. My subject says it all. How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?
At first I thought I had a virus or something because when I typed only weird symbols came out. Then I reset the computer. Then I couldn't even log in. I tried Time Machine etc.
Then I realized that the "fn" key wasn't working right. It seems to be working backwards. It acts like it's being pushed when it's not, and when I do push it it acts like it's not being used.
So it's kind of a simple problem but it's really annoying.
Is there a way I can just disable it permanently? Even physical force if necessary. I tried to break it but it wouldn't break. I don't really use the key anyway so it doesn't really matter. I don't want to pay a bunch of money to replace a key I don't even use.
Thanks. I hope someone knows.

That's the best answer. Yeah usually if you press "fn" or "option" you can get it to work for awhile.
Yeah I have considered some kind of external keyboard also. It will make a laptop less laptopish. But it could do the job for awhile.
It's sad because I don't even care about the "fn" or "option" keys.
But anyway it's not catastrophic at least.
And yeah maybe we can get a new computer later or something. I like mine though. It's customized and is how I like it right now.
Anyway thanks for the reply.
