Hello. What i want is simple

At this started private browsing mode open multiple urls
But it is not working
I tried this
It always open a new regular window and navigate url in that regular window. Also opens a private window but doesn't navigate any url
How to fix =

It is a workaround that you can consider because other ways probably aren't possible.
You could reserve a second profile in cases where you need to use the command line if you do not want to do this in the current default profile.
See:

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
You can use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and run multiple Firefox instances simultaneously.

  • How to set Firefox mobile to Private Browsing by default?

    What about:config settings are available that enable a mobile user to set Private Browsing by *default*?
    I found a similar question posted here ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/958711 ), but it appears to be lacking an answer (or it has been edited off this particular page).
    As a sidebar to this question:
    Mozilla, I think it's fair to suggest to you (and others reading this) that more and more people, worldwide, are becoming aware of the grave issues and conflicts arising between privacy and security. In the wake of all we have come to know (thus far) about unchecked government spying programs, big data, general snooping, device fingerprinting, general malware, identify theft, etc., many of your users would like for you to continue leading the way in helping to better secure your loyal users' privacy, or at the very least, to provide loyal users with a wide-range of flexible settings that enable a user to determine the right level of security for themselves - from the "I don't care" to the "Don't stalk me, bro" to the "I want to be a ghost" -types. This necessarily includes your mobile browser. Mozilla is a key component to the future that is stretching out before us. Question is, will you lead the way?
    Lately, I've seen many settings/features disappear from your mobile browser: enable/disable javascript, an actual "exit" option. This isn't to say you haven't done any good. I very much appreciate the inclusion of settings for "Title bar" (Show page address vs page title). THANK YOU!
    If not such about:config setting exists, please consider a human-readable setting for "Enable Private Browsing by default".

    On the desktop version of Firefox, the preference that controls this is:
    browser.privatebrowsing.autostart
    I tried creating that in Firefox Beta for Android and it didn't seem to have any effect.

    I changed my setting to private browsing and now firefox won't open. Any ideas?

    In what way did it not open? Was the Firefox icon on the task bar?
    Did you get any error messages? Did the computer show Firefox

  • How do I enable plugins during Private Browsing sessions?

    I sometimes use Private Browsing. However, I noticed that when Private Browsing is enabled, plugins are disabled. I assume this is because some of the plugins maintain personal data, so Firefox cannot guarantee that the plugins will not store personal data during the Private Browsing session.
    Still, I want to enable plugins during Private Browsing and I accept the risks involved. But I have not yet figured out how to enable plugins during Private Browsing.
    How do I do enable plugins during Private Browsing?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == since Private Browsing was built into Firefox

    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private+Browsing
    The disabling of '''''plugins''''' isn't a feature of Private Browsing, what indication do you have that ''something'' is disabled?
    Or, are you talking about certain '''''extensions''''' or their features being disabled??
    That shouldn't happen either, unless a particular extension uses or extends the features in Firefox that are disabled in Private Browsing mode. I imagine that an extension that deals with Passwords, any type of History ''(like Download List, Forms, or Search)'', visited pages ''(browsing history)'', the Cache, or Cookies isn't going to work as it would in the "normal browsing" mode.

  • When I open firefox my screen fills up and I don't have the top part with the tool bar or tabs. How do I fix this. It does not do this with explorer

    When I open firefox the whole screen fills with the firefox page but no tabs or toolbar at the top of the screen. It does not do this if I use Internet Explorer. I can google say, my email of facebook and I can get there but there is no way to get out of this page, no "red" X to close the sight.

  • When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

    With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private  Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field.  The screen that  opens up has your bookmarks on it.  In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'.  Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off.  Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work.  This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS. 

  • How do I make Firefox NOT my default browser and restore Internet Explorer as default browser?

    I used to have Internet Explorer as my default browser and when I went to Firefox it asked me if I wanted Firefox as my default browser and I always sad no. I must haves screwed that up somehow and I want to go back to Explorer as default.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    To make Internet Explorer your default web browser, you can click on '''Tools''' from the toolbar at the top and select '''Internet Options'''. Then select the '''Programs''' tab from the top of the window to access the default browser settings. You might want to also choose to be alerted if Internet Explorer is not your default browser. Click '''OK''' to save your changes.
    Please also be aware of that Firefox's latest version is [http://getfirefox.com 3.6.4] while you're running 3.5.9.

  • Removing Private Browsing, Clear Cache, etc. options from Safari

    This was discussed earlier, but the situation just came back up here at school as students have been found clearing history etc. to cover their tracks. This was originally posted by Yang in May 2006.
    "If you have the developer tools installed, or more specifically, Interface Builder, you can easily remove the 'Private Browsing' and 'Reset Safari' menu-items. Create a copy of Safari and browse to '/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/'. Open MainMenu.nib in Interface Builder. In the template of the menu bar which appears, browse to and highlight each menu-item and hit backspace to delete. Save and quit. That Safari application package will now be missing the menu-items.
    You can replace the original Safari package with the modified one, and maybe have the unmodified version in the 'Applications' folder of an administrator's home folder.
    Unfortunately, the 'Clear History' menu item seems to be generated dynamically. I can't seem to find the reference to it in Safari's resources. However, that said, I believe there are more elegant solutions to tracking a user's browsing history. In fact, it might be advisable to look at third-party solutions - ones which write history to a separate file. For instance, even if the menu-items are missing, it is possible to simply trash the relevant .plist after each browsing session to remove all traces of its history."
    In doing that, I found that while you can't remove the dynamically created "Clear History" from the History Menu, you can open "/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings" with Project Builder from the Developers Tools and edit what shows in the menu. Just change what is after the = sign for the items you want to change and save it. It may not stop the practice completely, but it will slow things down. (Students may think twice before selecting a menu option that says "Permanently Archive History".) This doesn't change the function, just what it is called on the screen. I also removed "Empty Cache..." from the menu and changed the label and icon for History when you "View All Bookmarks" to reduce deleting them through that method. It makes them harder to find.
    Just be sure you are modifying a copy of the App so you keep the original. I then used Remote Desktop to copy the modified application into the Applications folder on the student computers. So far, only limited testing, but everything seems to work at this point.
    By the way, this was my first experience with Developers Tools and they really aren't that daunting if you think things through first.

    Seems I'm out of touch with school day issues.
    It appears you would rather snoop on behavior and punish Web "wrongdoers" than let students imagination and a few "rules" guide their Web experiences.
    If a child is smart enough to know how to "cover their tracks" then they've learned something wrong from your instructors.
    You may just want to take away their browsers and replace them with:

    You also mention Apple Remote Desktop in your post. It allows you to view what any machine is doing.
    Instructor is not at a machine taking a "peak" over the students shoulder? Worked when I was in school.

  • Whenever I open Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, and try to log onto websites like Hotmail, Facebook RuneScape etc. it won't let me... Help?

    Whenever I open Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, and try to long onto websites like Hotmail, Facebook RuneScape etc. it won't let me... I'm finding it frusrtrating and annoying since I cannot use Firefox 4.0 Beta 6. It works on other accounts excluding mine - What is this crap rigged or something? I have to resort to crappy Google Chrome and Safari since it messed up on both of my computers... Here's what it says when I double-click the short-cut: " Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features. " Although, it says the way to help - Can you like, dumb it down for me?
    ALSO, here's what it says when I go onto http://runescape.com - It says: An error occurred during a connection to www.runescape.com:443.
    Can't connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled.
    (Error code: ssl_error_ssl_disabled)

    See [[Secure Connection Failed]]

    You turn private browsing off on the Safari page. Tap the + sign in the upper right corner, then tap private in the lower left corner. You know you're in private when the top of the screen is dark.

    A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
