Add-on summary

Firefox by default offers only option to open link in a new Private window. When opening many links, you end up having dozens of windows, which - in my opinion - is harder to manage than multiple tabs. This extension offers a handy list of all private windows, so you can choose where the link should be opened.

User reviews

I miss this feature in Firefox for so long. Damn! I'm so happy that I found this. Thank you for creating this! <3 --- Is the code available somewhere? I'd like to improve (change to myself honestly) to not show the title of the current chosen private window tab in the menu when it has a single private window. It can make the menu really large and annoys me. A fixed "Open Link in Current Private Window" for this specific scenario would be perfect.

Appears to have been abandoned and the core functionality no longer works. The best similar extenstions I've found are "Open Incognito" and "Temporary Containers".
