Add-on summary
Open in Private Mode is an addon that enables you to open the current tab (active) in a private window.
Simply click on the toolbar button to open the private (or incognito) window. You can also use the context-menu item (right-click) to open the private window. Please note that, if you right-click on a link, the new private window will have the link URL instead of the tab. Moreover, you can use the keyboard shortcut (Alt + Shift + S) to open the active tab in a private window. If you want to open a custom URL in a private window when you click on the toolbar button, please open the options page and add a URL in the designated area.
Note: after you install the addon, please head to the addon's tab, and activate the "Run in Private Windows" option.
To report bugs, please fill out the bug report form on the addon's homepage.
