Private browsing on right context menu on Mozilla Firefox Shortcut icon on MS Win XP

I am already aware that Mozilla Firefox Web browser has the option to always start Firefox in Private Browsing mode, by putting the mark in its on Options...
However, I noticed that on MS Win 7 OS, we can run Mozilla Firefox Web browser directly, by clicking right click (right context menu) on Mozilla Firefox Shortcut icon (for e.g. in Windows Taskbar and Start Menu) and here is immediately available options: "Enter Private Browsing", "Open new tab" and "Open new window".
Now, my question is, can I do something that this same options (or, at least "Enter Private Browsing option), is also available on that same just before described way like on MS Win 7 OS, but on MS Win XP OS also?
Thank You in advance for help!
Best regards!
Bruno.H.

Sorry, that is a feature in Windows 7 which isn't available in WinXP. You would need to ask about that in a Windows support forum to see if or how something like that could be added to WinXP.

    Hello,
    ''jstavene wrote:''
    can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
    Then it's not the same issue.
    If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
    * [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.

    In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

  • How do I modify the file right-click context menu to add "creat shortcut"?

    I have just chosen Mozilla as my browser and want to add shortcuts to files by using the right-click context menu, but there is no "create shortcut" choice displayed.

    Could you describe where you're clicking, exactly? Are you clicking on a web page, or clicking a link on a web page? If you are using Firefox to browse files on your hard drive, you're probably better off using Windows Explorer to do that since Firefox doesn't have all the functions of Windows.

  • Private Browsing doesn't remember passwords and the firefox tab is orange and shows remember passwords enabled. Cannot cancel to restart either. Help.

    I downloaded 8.0.1 and now remember password does not work. I have read everything on the internet, one saying when RP is on the Firefox browser tap would be purple and orange when off. It is Orange and he drop down menu shows Stop Private Browsing but when I do that nothing happens. I deleted and downloaded Firefox again but same problem. Whats the gig...

    In Private Browsing you can't remember new passwords, but currently saved password are still accessible.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?<br />
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    In PB mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if you end that PB session or close Firefox.<br />
    So it isn't possible to have websites remember you and automatically log you in in PB mode.

  • How can I start Private Browsing when I do not have a "Firefox button" to click?

    "Open a new, blank Private Window
    At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select New Private Window. A new Private Window will open.
    That is what it says! But where is this Firefox button at the top of my Firefox (v 20.0.1) window? What I have at the top of the window is:
    (1) A blue-background bar with the Firefox icon and the title of the current page
    (2) 2 grey-background bars with menus (e.g. File, Edit, ...) and buttons
    (3) 1 grey-background bar with the Bookmark Toolbar
    (4) The Tab bar
    But no Firefox button, and none available in the customise dialog. Have I suppressed it somehow?

    hello, the private browsing window is accessible through the file menu that you've referenced too - or you can use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+p.
    if you want to get the default userinterface with the firefox button though, go to view > toolbars & disable the menu bar...

  • Text cursor with pop-menu in Mozilla Firefox?

    Hello
    I have a question.
    I'm working on dreamweaver 8.
    I add a popup menu through Behaviors.
    When i preview the page in Mozilla Firefox browser, the mouse
    does not change it's cursor to a regular hand or pointer like it
    does when it hovers over usual links.
    Instead, it produces the text cursor.
    Is there a way to force it to the hand/pointer when it hovers
    over a link in the menu?
    I need help. Thank you
    Yan

  • I just downloaded Firefox 4 and it does NOT look like it is supposed to look - My menu items are not in a single button, etc... as displayed in Step 2 of getting to know your browser on the welcome page for Mozilla Firefox 4. Can anyone help?

    This webpage [http://example.com http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central/ ]shows what Firefox 4 should look like. My Firefox 4 does not have the menu items grouped and I have no app tab. All in all, my Firefox 4 is not what it should be... does anyone know why this might be and how I should go about fixing it? thanks :)

    To get the new UI you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

  • How do I link my Favorites in 'My Computer' to the Favorites Menu in Mozilla Firefox?

    I do not have a back-up to restore them from, but they are all in 'My Computer'.

    There's a great addon that takes care of that for you: http://www.iosart.com/firefox/plainoldfavorites/
    I've been using "Plain Old Favorites" through about the last 6 versions of Firefox ... since something like 3.6.12. It works great. You can access your computer favorites directly from the Firefox strip menu item, 'Favorites'.

  • Website container appears to the right of menu only in Firefox

    I am working on a website, and everything looks fine in Chrome, IE, Opera, and Safari, but when I use Firefox, the container is appearing next to the menu, instead of under where it should be. Either it isn't centered for Firefox or something else is wrong. Any ideas on how to fix this Firefox problem? I have tried the troubleshooting steps for "Websites look wrong in Firefox" to no avail. I have also started Firefox in Safe Mode with the same problem.

    You have a mix of positioned elements (position:relative) and floated elements. I think height:0px is causing the positioning to be relative to the last floated item rather than the div containing them. But it would take quite some time to untangle and confirm.

  • Installation of Firefox 3.6.17 does not take effect, I keep being asked to install it (again), At least 5 times so far, and it never shows in the (Mac) Firefox menu "about Mozilla Firefox

    I'm running on an iMac, OS 10.5.8, I've lost count on how many times I've been told there's an update for Firefox 3.6.16, I install it. the next time I restart, FF starts up, and I look at the about FF menu, and it shows I'm running 3.6.16. I've never encountered anything like this. What is going on? How do I tell.
    Thanks,

  • When I click on the Mozilla Firefox internet icon, it cannot establish a connection to anything

    I cannot access the internet using mozilla. It has a error message that says that "Firefox cannot establish a connection to the server ... "

    See [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]. A common cause, as shown in that article, is a firewall blocking Firefox.

  • The words underneath the shortcut icon for Firefox having changed inexplicably from Mozilla Firefox to BOLB should I be concerned?

    On my wife's computer the words below the Mozilla Firefox shortcut icon suddenly and without any action on her part that she is aware of changed from "mozilla Firefox" to "BOLB". Clicking the icon opened Firefox without problems.
    Deleting the icon and re-creating it solved the problem in terms of the icon appearing as it used to and should but I'm concerned that there may be an underlying issue. Should we be worried? We use and religiously update AVAST antivirus software (the free version).

    Sorry that should have been the Firefox shortcut on your desktop and not the desktop.
    You can right-click the Firefox icon on your desktop and open the Properties and place a check mark in the Read-only check box. That will prevent other program from modifying the name or other properties of that shortcut.

  • 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
