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.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration#How_to_edit_configuration_files
<code>
#sanitizeSeparator, #privateBrowsingItem, #sanitizeItem
#privateBrowsingAutoStart
</code>
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.
Let Mozilla know how you feel about not being able to disable Private Browsing in Firefox here:

  • How can I delete the private browsing option?

    I have two children and I do not want their internet time to be hidden from me. I need to know what websites are visited and even if they delete the history I want to be able to search the temporary internet files to see if they are hiding anything,

    Sophisticated users can get rid of most of their tracks, so you may need some additional software to "really" know what's going on. More info: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/parental+controls Parental controls].
    That said, you can edit Firefox's menus in one of two ways:
    (1) Menu Editor extension
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/710/
    (2) Manually edit the settings file userChrome.css in a user's profile.
    You would add a rule ''hiding'' the menu item using a rule similar to:
    #privateBrowsingItem {display:none !important;}
    I can't test that at the moment, sorry. More info: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Tips_:_Customize_context_menu#Tweaking_userChrome.css

  • How can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?

    As the headline says, how can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?
    After resetting my iPhone, previous history came back as soon as I signed in with iCloud on it. I would really like this to not occur.

    The only place that Thunderbird gets suggested addresses is from your address books. I have seen some not show up in the books because some key info was never stored when the contact was saved.
    Sometimes you can start a new message and when the bad contact shows up select it. Create the message and save it to drafts. Then you can go to the Draft folder open the draft message by right clicking and select Open Message in Tab. Then click the star to the right of the contact and it will open the contact edit button. From there you can delete the contact.
    This does not always work though.

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • Can I remove the "private browsing" option?

    Is it possible to completely remove the private browsing option in Firefox? I don't like the idea of people in my family having access to all sorts of sites, undetected by anyone. If not I may have to remove Firefox completely and return to Internet Explorer. Any help on this would be good.

    You could use the Menu Editor extension ([https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor]) to remove the menu entry, but this is only of limited use. For example it does not prevent anybody from clearing the browsing history.
    An alternative approach is to use a parental control program such as the free K9 web protection ([http://www.k9webprotection.com]). That program has its own log of sites visited, and you can use it to block access to categories of sites that you choose.

  • How do I delete the private browsing option?

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/792868''
    I want to delete the private browsing option.

    There is no built-in option to disable private browsing. You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ Menu Editor] extension to remove the option to start in private browsing mode from the menus, but that is easily bypassed. For example it does not stop somebody using the keyboard shortcut to open private browsing.
    Private browsing is not the only way to hide browsing details, somebody can remove records of their browsing by using clear recent history.

  • How can I completely remove Private Browsing functionality within Firefox 4 Beta?

    I wish to remove the Private Browsing functionality within Firefox 4 Beta. I know there's a way to remove it from the toolbar but I want a complete inaccessibility of the function entirely.
    There *was* a solution for this within Firefox 3 that I had applied but the new update doesn't keep that as a single file within the \Components folder.
    I realize that this involves some real functionality change, but I really would appreciate a nice hack.

    Did you figure out how to remove this feature? I need help too!

  • 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?

  • How can I  install the inspirational browser?

  • How can I undo the firefox browser refresh and get my old browser & settings, etc. back?

    I accidentally did the browser refresh yesterday (2-17-2015) without reading further down the page on what that would do. It of course gave me a fresh browser. The problem is I lost my customized appearance (Dark blue fox, I believe), the add-ons I really have come to really on, etc. Firefox did create a folder with the old settings. I'm not that savoy understanding how to get that folder to open, run, whatever it takes to put all the things I want back into working order on the firefox browser. Please excuse my lack of proper terminology, jargon, etc. I know enough to be confused and everything I have learned IT has come from stumbling through it over the last 15 years of having my own PC.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Please keep any solution details as plain and simple for a novas to understand and execute as possible.
    Many, many Thanks, Ottodewy

    When you reset (refresh) Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
    It is possible to recover data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Note that is is also possible to use the Profile Manager to create a new profile.
    That way the current profile isn't moved to the desktop, so you can return to it at any time.

  • How can I get the Firefox browser to work with my high speed internet?

    After switching from dial-up to high speed internet, I can no longer open the Firefox browser (which I was using) even after downloading the latest version. It is set for my default, but I can only use IE to browse. What else do I need to do to make it work?

    You didn't tell me it was a user name password issue.
    Open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities)
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the Delta keychain.
    Now from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Make sure:  User names and passwords is selected.
    Navigate to the Delta site. Login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that info to a new keychain.
