I am unable to turn on Private Browsing since upgrading the new version. However, on my laptop I am given the option. Both upgrades were done the same day.

In the Tools drop-down menu, the "Start Private Browsing" option is not highlighted, nor does Ctrl/Sft/P turn it on.
The laptop allows both.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • My E pad has stopped directing me to my att/yahoo e mail. It gives me a notice that i must go to Settings, Safrai and turn off Private Browsing. I have tried for 2 days to find private browsing on my safrai site, and it is just not there.

    Forsome reason, after two years, my E Pad is refusing to go to my att.Yahoo e mail...It says to go to Settings Safari Private Browsing and turn off Private Browsing. There is not place on the Safrari page that gives me Private Browsing. It explains it as being dark when turned on, but no place to turn it on or off.  Also it seems to go to Yahoo Mail instead of Att..Yahoo when it gives me the above message....Any One know what todo?

    As of iOS 7, private browsing is not longer handled in the Settings app, but in Safari directly. The only Settings function for Safari that may impact this would be Block cookies.
    Private browsing is turned on and off in Safari using the button in teh lower left of the Safari screen (if you do not see this, tap the + icon in the upper right to pull up an empty tab).

  • My frontier email account won't let sign in. It tells me to go to setting -safari and turn off "private browsing". Where do I find "private browsing"?

    My frontier email will not let me sign on. I get a message telling me to go to settings> safari > and turn off " private browsing." How do I find " private browsing" under safari in the settings area?

    Close all windows in Safari.
    Now you can see the word 'Private' on the bottom left of screen.

  • After turning off private browsing Safari crashes immediately upon launch.

    After turning off private browsing Safari crashes immediately upon launch. I tried soft-resetting, and clearing my cookies and cache. I basically launches in private browsing mode and then immediately tries to switch to regular browsing. When the screen changes, it crashes to desktop.
    Any ideas, other than wiping my iPad?
    (I'm using iOS 5, of course, but it is not available under the Operating System dropdown in this forum)

    I'm seeing the same problem, and it was repeatable for me.  iPad (original 3G, 64GB), iOS 5.  (There are now a couple threads with this same problem.)
    Once the crashes start, it would continue to crash every time I tried to bring up Safari.  It crashes just as it finishes showing the tool bars, but before any content is displayed.
    Manually killing the app did not make the problem go away.
    One time, shutting down and restarting the iPad fixed it, but that solution did not work the next time I went in and out of Private browsing.  Also, once the crashing begins, going back into Private browsing did not stop the crashing.
    The last time it got into the crashing condition, I stopped the crashing by turning off the setting to display the Bookmark bar.  Strange!
    I have like 20 Safari crash logs that I hope will get auto-sent to Apple sometime today (I reenabled the send data to Apple option).

  • Ipad Air Safari turn off private browsing

    I accidently turned on private browsing on my iPad Air and can not turn it off. I have read the owner's manual, googled for help and responses have not helped turn it off. Some say turn it off in settings under security with the "Do Not Track" switch. Other things I've read says to tap on the bookmark icon in Safari. I'm at a loss and need help.
    thanks

    Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to enable/disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

  • How to turn on private browsing in ios8

  • I am trying to pull up personal e-mail but I am getting an error message to turn off "private browsing" in settings-safari-private browsing. The problem is my Safari doesn't give me that option. What now?

    I am receiving a message when going to a web site to turn off private browsing but Safari doesn't provide me the option to turn this off. As a matter of fact it doesn't show the option at all. Anyone know how to remedy this?

    Tap the blue + sign in the upper right corner of the Safari toolbar to open a new tab. Then look in the lower left portion of the screen for the word "Private". Tap that to turn off private browsing.

  • How do I Turn on private browsing ios7.1

    I updated the phone to IOS 7.1. Now I have no button to turn on private browsing. How do I turn it on?

    I did a backup to my computer, then did a restore to my iPhone. I then reloaded my backup to my phone. I still have the same problem. My "Private" button is missing. The issue is more interesting. I found that in my settings for Safari, the "Clear History" is greyed out and I cant clear my history. Also, when I access my history from inside Safari, my "Clear" button is greyed out. In other words, all buttons associated with private browsing or clearing the search history are missing or have been disabled.  I guess I'll just have to contact Apple and maybe pay the money to have them fix it. I just hate to have them tell me the same things I already know and tell me to wait for an update to the OS. Frustrating. I just want the product to work as advertised.
