No, if i use this system, when I will open a link by an external application, firefox will run a normal window.
If I will open firefox directly in an anonymous window, the external link will be opened in the anonymous window

@keiichi, Limpet235 is moving your topic, to try to get your more help, what are you referring to by anonymous window? Also your user agent shows Firefox 48, that's way out of date, any reason you are running such an old version?keiichi wrote:Too easy...LIMPET235 wrote:Moving this to Firefox Support...

(This is Pale Moon, but in any case...)
https://forum.palemoon.org/search.php?k ... mit=Search
FF has a --private-window command line switch
FF can be set to always open in "Private" mode
With that, see what --new-instance may do on your end?
(You may be able to accomplish something there, not sure? I don't think you can on a Windows system.)

For run firefox directly in anonymous browsing,
in windows I open command line and I run the following command
Code: Select all
c:\programs\mozilla\firefox -private
in linux I open the command line and I run the following command
Code: Select all
firefox& -private
In mac, If I try to run firefox by command line, I have
Code: Select all
command not found
Where is firefox 'executable in mac? How can I create an icon to run firefox in anonymous browsing?

keiichi,
Just to clear things up....
When I said/posted "Moving this to Firefox Support...", it simply meant that you would receive better attention in the Firefox Support forum.
You actually posted in the Firefox General forum....that is why it was moved.
It had nothing to do with "anonymous" browsing.
