Using -private in conjunction with -new-window isn't working correctly

Using an external program to launch Firefox with command line arguments, it seems that using -private and -new-window URL doesn't seem to work correctly. It's almost as if one or the other gets completely ignored. Has anyone else noticed this?
Ideally, i'd like to be able to ALWAYS launch a new window to a specified URL in private mode by default.

It is not possible to open an external link in a Private Browsing mode window.
You can look at this extension:
*Private Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/private-tab/
The Firefox menu button gets a purple background or you get a purple PB mask on the Menu bar or tab bar (Linux) when you are in a PB tab and all Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underlining unless you are in permanent PB mode.
You can set the extensions.privateTab.allowOpenExternalLinksInPrivateTabs pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to see if that works (haven't tested this with a command line).

  • Using Lacie DVD enclosure with new HDD : Will it work ?

    May be a silly question. Seems that my Lacie Firewire 400 External DVD burner with a 7.5 " enclosure is no longer working. Should I decide to buy an External Drive
    for my Powermac G4. Will I encounter any difficulties installing the drive ?
    Comments welcome.

    With FireWire, you may not have any problems, but there's always the possibility that the bridge board in the enclosure isn't programmed for use with a hard drive (fixed media). An optical drive is classified as a removable media device. I tried connecting a hard drive to the bridge board from a Sony DVD burner enclosure with FireWire/USB 2.0 connectivity, but it wasn't recognized. Try it - you won't damage anything, but make sure the hard drive is configured as "master" and not the factory default of "cable select."

  • I have a new time capsule, want to use it in conjunction with iMac G5 and MacBook; laptop runs Snow Leopard  but G5 can't install Snow Leopard, is stuck at OS 10.4.11.  Am I doomed?  Can anyone advise me?  Thanks..

    I have a new Time Capsule, want to  use it in conjunction with an iMac G5 and a MacBook.  MacBook runs Snow Leopard, but G5 (lacking Intel processor) can't install Snow Leopard, is stuck at OS 10.4.11.  Am I doomed?  Will appreciate any advice.  Thanks.

    you should still be able to get a copy of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), which should run on your G5.

    Thanks for the help Niel.  I couldn't change the rescue email address (an address that no longer exists and is therefore useless) until I could correctly answer the security questions.  After numerous guesses, finally got them right.  Was then presented with the option to change the rescue email address. Guess the only other option was to have Apple Support make the change or reset my account info.  Have made note of the correct answers so this won't happen again.   Thanks for the fast response!!

  • How to alert with new window when message is comming like MSN

    Please tell me .How to alert with new window when message is comming like MSN?

    Why is it the first think everyone wants to do in JSP is write a chat application?
    Not really an easy way to do this, as HTTP is a "pull" model. You send a request, the server sends a response. The server can't send anything unless you ask for it. That kindof puts a damper on things like instant messaging.
    A couple of workarounds
    1 - refresh the page every once in a while to check for new messages. An easy solution but nowhere near optimal.
    2 - check out pushlets www.pushlets.com

    have to run windows in safe mode with network to have browserws work correctly. using IE and Firefox. Fist web site comes in correctly next tab just sites waiting for web site Help

    If it works in Windows Safe mode then you have a problem with other software, possibly security software or a system driver, that is running on your computer.<br />
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air.  Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

    Cannot send email with new iPad air.  Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.  I have deleted account and reinstalled.

    Thanks.  I got the problem fixed.  Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor.  It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner.  Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail.  I checked all the specifics between the three units.  It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com  to TWC.com.  Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

    Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

    That shows you that iPhoto is working correctly and whatever issue you are having is based in your original library.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • PDF Windows isn't working

    Good day all here!
    Some days ago - I don't remember after a Windows-7-Professional (64 Bit) and/or and Adobe-Update (they took place on the same day) Acrobat 8.0 Professional (I still use Creative Suite 3.2) isn't working correct anymore. Opening a PDF results in a courrpted presentation mainly without the windows-page-frame and the options-bar of Adobe Acrobat. I can't close the PDF normaly (no "x" visible) and only sometimes when I switch it into the taks bar and back on it works - or not. I'm able to open Acrobat normal by doulbe clicking the icon and when I move a PDF into it seems to works fine.
    I would be thankful for any help - thanks a lot!

  • What if sync with new computer does not work. logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes. New is Windows7 with 64bit version

    What if sync with new computer does not work?
    logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes.
    New is Windows7 with 64bit version

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    Hi Guys, The Edit Window isn't working. It immediately crashes the Programm, when i try to open the Single Track View. Any Ideas?

    Uninstall and reinstall the software. If it still does this, contact Adobe's chat line; that's specifically what they are there to fix, amongst other things.

  • In CS5, the font size in the type tool isn't working correctly. example: 30 point looks like 4 point

    In CS 5, the font size in the type tool isn't working correctly.
    Example: 30 point looks like 4 point
    How can I correct it?

    In case you have not fixed this, take a look at your Image Size (Ctrl Alt i).  The default when you make a new document window is 72ppi which can result in smaller text than you sometimes expect.  If you open Image size, turn off resample, and change the resolution to something like 300, you'll get much larger type for the same settings.
    For this reason one of the first things I do after installing Photoshop, or resetting Preferences, is to open Preferences > Units & rulers, and set Type to mm.  This way I know that if the document is set to A4, and orientated in landscape (297mm x 210mm) setting text to 21mm is going to result in type exactly one tenth the height of the document.
    I believe people in America still use inches, but unfortunately inches are not an option for Type units in Preferences.  It is easy enough to work it out in your head though. A 10x8 document with type set to 25mm will give you text one eighth the height of the document.
    The bottom line is you can at least predict what is going to happen when setting text size.
