By default, private browser

Can I do the private browser my default browser option? If not, is there a plan on making it an option in the future? I believe that such a change would be a step forward in the privacy of the user rights.

  • How can I get permanent Private Browsing, I want to save passwords?

    I tried several times to turn off private browsing which requires a reboot. After the reboot, private browsing is always engaged. What I want, it is to be able to save passwords from time to time and can't restore that work in private browsing.

    Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.
    The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.

    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them .html and .txt, so you can see only a file name without .ini and .js file extension.
    You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • Using Firefox 26: since the PBS site altered, receive "year error has occurred... Please check if private browsing is OFF" continuously - private browsing is turned OFF.

    Have used Firefox several years to view the videos at video.pbs.org. Impossible to say which came first: upgrade to Firefox 26 or PBS change their Web site but I can view is no longer any video to the ADDRESS: video.pbs.org. As soon as this page is in place, the window of Message dialog with this text: "an error [sic] has occurred. For a better experience with this site, please check if private browsing is DISABLED. »

    If "OK" in the dialog box is hit, the window disappears, but reappears in a few seconds. Pressing 'OK' on four or five rehearsals of this screen message results in the message box reappear, but with a box line added with the text, "To prevent this page from creating additional dialog boxes." By selecting the check box makes no difference in behavior. Dialog box continue reappear even if a video can be selected and will start to play until the dialog box appears. At this time, playback is suspended but resumed after to press 'OK '. Dialog box is displayed again about more than 4 seconds.

    I checked the Options confidentiality and subject: config that private browsing is not started automatically and no is not the default mode or auto started.

    I am retired, not having cable and live in an area where reception of a PBS television station is problematic so PBS watched a video is my primary TV entertainment option.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks to all of you who responded. Certainly, it shows the power of open-source software and knowledge of the crowd-sourced.

    suggestion of jscher2000 right of money. The preference of dom.storage.enabled was bold, and "false".

    Change to 'true' and reload video.pbs.org eliminates the error message.

    Once again, thanks a lot.

  • Private browsing Safari

    Hello!

    Private browsing, Safari seems to be possible with this method that found in the activities of the apple community.  It was posted by Andy, I think!

    The suggestion was the following: Applications-> utilities-> Terminal.   In the Terminal, write the following without quotes "by default write com.apple.safari WebKitHistoryAgeInDaysLimit 0 there was this warning: not trested carefully... so beware a little."  To cancel: same command but with a number from 1 to 5 instead of the value 0.

    I tried recently and it seems to work as long as you leave I have Safari in the Dock and go to Safari using Outlook signature in.  This will give you a black search window which is the search engine of private browsing.   Thanks to this system: OS X El Capitan v10.11.5.

    You don't need to do this if you want to browse in private mode.  Go to Safari preferences-> general and where it says "open Safari with ', select"New window private."

  • Lack of options "Enter private browsing" "open a new tab" and "Open a new fenΩtre" when click right firefox icon in taskbar

    I just reinstalled Windows 7 64-bit(for other purposes) and of course downloaded firefox 21.0 as soon as I could, but found that it is not all options as there were once (before the reinstall) when I right click the icon in the task bar firefox ("Enter private browsing," "open new tab" etc..).

    As in this same question posted here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943198?esab=a & as = aaq

    I checked the Userchrome.css file and does not exist. In the properties of the start menu "store and view these options... '. ' has been verified (unchecked and recontroler). Also mucked the subject: config with specific options mentioned in the link above and nothing (all are now by default). I don't know if some extensions can cause problems with this, but I currently have stumbleupon and Personas Plus, NoScript, AdBlockPlus (which if I'm not mistaken were all on before reinstalling windows). Even just reinstalled firefox just on the off chance that he can fix it, but unfortunately it didn't.

    It seems to be fixed, I guess that since the last update. I've updated a day or two ago, I forgot to check for it, but it's working now.

  • Missing a mode for private browsing for web sites focused on the session

    Hello

    The 'New private window' function is certainly more practical in many situations, but unfortunately it does not cover the following cases: when you do online banking, the session must be initiated by an external application on a USB stick ("AccessKey UBS"). The connection banking screen opens in the browser by default (Firefox of course!), but unfortunately, it appears in the main (non-private) Firefox window and its impossible to copy or move the link to the private window. Apparently the external application establishes a connection to the main window, which cannot be moved or restarted in the private window.

    For this reason, I really enjoyed the old Firefox's private browsing mode that was not available in any other browser. And the fact that no other public navigation window was visible at the same time gave a better sense of security (I don't know if this impression was justified, however).

    Jarle-

    Maybe you can use this extension to change the tab of a tab in private browsing.

    Future versions of Firefox will support Private Browsing tab, it is already available in the extension.

  • How can I start private browsing when I don't have a "Firefox" button click?

    "Open a new window empty private."

       At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select New Private Window. A new Private Window will open.

    "

    That's what he said! But where is this Firefox button at the top of my window of Firefox (v 20.0.1)? What I have at the top of the window is:

    (1) a bar of blue background with the Firefox icon and the title of the current page

    (2) 2 bars gray background with buttons and menus (file, editing,...)

    (3) 1 bar background gray with the bookmarks bar

    (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 via the file menu that you referenced too - or you can use keyboard shortcut ctrl + shift + p.

    If you want to get the interface by default with the firefox button well, go to view > toolbars and disable the menu bar...

  • Re-uploaded because there was no access to the web, and it is not yet. Opens in private browsing, no Firefox tab is visible, so I can't do anything.

    I don't remember having chosen Private Browsing until I deleted Firefox on my computer. After you download from the Web site, the same screen appears. It does not resemble the Web site displays. I have a screenshot, but don't see a way to fix it here.
    The top line is blue background of Windows and said "Start Mozilla Firefox - Mozilla Firefox (private browsing) Page".
    Lower than that of the context Tan the usual File, Edit, View etc.
    Lower than a tab with: the image of Fox and the "Mozilla Firefox Start Page.
    Thaat below: arrow, arrow, box "go to a Web site", and arrears on the right a blue g and a tab drop down to search engines, down for downloads and the symbol of the House.
    bottom line usual Google that shows that my most used bookmarks
    The large area below that contains the symbol of the Fox in the Center above the search box (which does not). In the upper right corner is "mozilla" gray type.
    Crossing the lower part is a clear grey banner with "downloads, Favorites, history, modules, sync and Settings" with their symbols above.
    I had to remove PC Matic Supershield to get the download to work at all, and now after hours of tests, I am right where I started.

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in (permanent) private browsing mode.

    • Tools > Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".
    • Uncheck the box: [] "always use the navigation mode private.

    You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the file prefs.js and possible prefs - numbered # .js and a user.js file possible to restore the values all default prefs.

    Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    Note that I'm just exploring this change right now, and there is a good chance chime sounds more competent people!

  • Left arrow work stopped, private browsing off the COAST, using HISTORY to return the works, any ideas what happened?

    Firefox 7.0.1. Windows7 Pro 64.
    Yesterday I was streaming audio of sky.fm and noticed that the back navigation toolbar arrow no longer and that he has failed since. FF restarting, rebooting the computer, same problem. Private browsing has never been used, i.e. the history file is fine. Using it is the only way to return to a previous page or the site. The visual indication only that the arrow was clicked, the firefox in the tool bar icon fades. All other indications are normal. The current url is displayed, and FF is sensitive to clicks on the link goes to the front - back just not.
    Any ideas? Thank you, John.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    Another possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.
