Private Tab

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

There seems to be incompatibility between "PrivateTabs" and "Instantfox" when used with FF20, Private Tabs are randomly dropping to none private browsing mode when information is entered into the URL bar.

I'm not sure which of the addons is causing the issue, but I can reliably recreate it doing the following :

1. On a brand new profile, install Instantfox & PrivateTabs
2. Open a new private tab (either with the "Open in Private Tab" icon or the keyboard shortcut CTRL ALT P)
3. In the private tab that opens, begin a google search using instantfox (so for example "g firefox" in the location bar)
4. Press Enter
5. The Google search opens as usual, but the tab loses "Private Browsing" mode.

This doesn't happen if I am using a Private Browsing window; only a Private Browsing tab will do this.

Whilst I'm here a couple of requests :D

1. Can you make an icon to close ALL private tabs at one time?
2. Can you make it so pre determined domains ALWAYS open in a private tab?
