| 2024-01-13 | Firefox user 17450505 | | As of version 2.2.7, this works perfectly in Windows. Note that it requires you to allow it to run in private windows. When I first tried it, I didn't have that enabled. So instead of opening a private window, it opened its Settings page to let me set the permission. |

| 2023-12-14 | meowkitty | | I'm on Android. As others have stated, it just closes the tab without reopening it as a private tab. It would be an awesome add-on if it worked |

| 2021-02-17 | Xavier Novella Sinde | | The idea is nice and would do just what I wanted, but it does not work. Issues found: - If a private window is open, it does not seem to work. Even after closing the private window that was open, it does not work. - The original tab is closed, but the new private one is not opened, so it forces you to recover the closed tab. Thanks |
