Private browser option is missing

I added an app (forgot the name of it) that was going to end "private browsing" because I wasnt to sure how to do it. Now the option in the tools dropdown menu is gone.... I am stuck in private mode and cant find a way to correct it. I've tried adding another app to reverse it but it doesnt work.

What color is the Firefox button in the upper-left corner of Firefox? <br />
Purple means you're in Private Browsing mode, and Orange means you aren't.
If neither '''Start Private Browsing''' or '''Stop Private Browsing''' appear in the Firefox button drop-down (or Tools menu), you probably have the Disable Private Browsing extension installed. You can't see that extension in the Add-ons Manager tab, unless you open Firefox in the Firefox SafeMode. <br />

  • 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.

  • I want to remove the "private browsing" option. how?

    Firefox automatically installed the "private browsing" option on my browser. I do not want it.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == past update

    You have or had an extension installed (NET_mmhpset) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6 to Firefox/3.0.x.
    You can check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page.<br />
    You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.<br />
    Filter: '''general.useragent'''<br />
    If ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.

  • 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.

  • Removing private browsing option in FF4

    I need my computer to be protected so on previous versions I have removed the private browsing option. FF4 does not have that option. I understand cache and browsing history can be stripped but there are always traces of bad views even just the video player gives you clues. If the private browsing removal is not possible I will have to move to a different browser and I love Firefox. Please help.

  • The private browsing option is gone from the tools menu, the one in the file menu dosn't work the same.

    Firefox updated itself this morning to 20. The option to start private browsing in the tools menu is gone. The one in the file menu is not the same, it works differently. I would really like to no how to re enable this feature. I always have a lot of tabs up. When I feel so inclined I would hit the private browse button then close. When I would reopen all my tabs would be there. this is but one example of how I used private browsing. If you could help me with this problem I would be very happy. Thank You for your time and support.

    Hello, when you start the new private browsing, starts in a new Private Window, and you first window it is exist also.
    If you close the private browsing window, your first window exist, but if you close the browser you must set it to '''Show my windows and tabs from last time''' (in Options > General panel > start up) :, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/startup-home-page-download-settings#w_startup Startup] to see again your tabs and windows when you start firefox.
    thank you

  • IOS 7.04 and now Private Browsing option is gone?

    I usually always have Safari's Private Browsing enabled and now after the upgrade to IOS 7.04 on my iPad, it's not enabled and the ability to turn on/off is gone. Where did it go?
    On the previous IOS 7.0x I would click the + and in the bottom left corner Private would appear... not anymore. I also looked in Safari Settings, it's missing there too.

    In your 4th screenshot, click the padlock @ top right & authenticate as an admin user.
    Return to the same details pane, if it's not still active, then double-click on the first Safari entry (or select it & then click the 'pencil' edit button).
    Select 'Always', then click the expand arrow, now the 'New Key' button should be active : click it.
    Click 'New Item' & change it to 'Private Browsing' from the drop-down list presented.
    Set 'Type' as 'boolean' and Value to 'false'.
    Now click Done or Apply Now to save the changes.
    This applies to  the user(s) that you had selected in the left pane, regardless of their being admin or standard.

  • I have a problem with the private browsing option. In my firefox settings it says I'm in private browsing mode, but firefox still remembers all of my history.

    In the options menu, I changed my settings to never remember history, but firefox still records all of it in the history tab. I repeated this, setting it back and forth between remember and don't remember and it still always recorded it.

    Did the Flash plugin crashes also happen with a previous version (10.1) of the Flash player?
    If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).<br />
    You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the <i>about:crashes</i> page.<br />
    You can open the <b>about:crashes</b> page via the location bar, like you open a website.
