This is a great plugin, a feature that I have been looking to have in Firefox for about a year now. Would be great if Mozilla added this to the native code of Firefox. :D

See 'previous review' at the bottom of this review for reference
1) Thanks! Hope it will be implemented soon.
2) For anyone who needs an simple explanation how to 'fix' the private tab favicon: see below.
3) Please make private tabs persistent.
- Adding the 'Purple Mask Icon' to all private tabs:
Open the folder containing your Firefox-profile: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Open your profile folder (The one with 'default' in its name).
Open (create if it is not there) the folder 'chrome'
Open/create file named 'userChrome.css' in notepad.
Add the code you see here: https://github.com/Infocatcher/UserStyles/blob/master/Private_Tab_icon/privateTabIcon.css
Save the file.
Restart Firefox.
Done.

Clever app and really easy to use. Useful if you don't have any need to open a whole new window only for private browsing.
I think it would be awesome if there was an option to hide (somehow) the new privateTab.

Excellent add-on. Nice and simple to use. One minor thing. You could add an option to disable the underline and the mask thingy. And make an option replacing the favicon with a mask, just like Opera 12.
This really needs to be a built-in feature in Firefox. Too lazy to open a new window :P
> You could add an option to disable the underline and the mask thingy.
Currently no option to remove the mask, sorry.
See https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/issues/40
And example style: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=12830693#p12830693
Or for classic menu:
#main-window[privatebrowsingmode=temporary] #toolbar-menubar {
background-image: none !important;
}
> And make an option replacing the favicon with a mask, just like Opera 12.
See https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab#styles

Without this add-on, if one wonts to set your browser on private, you'll need to open a new window. But with this simple add-on, one can open just a tab and navigate nice and easy without any problems. PrivateTab is, in my opinion one of the must-haves of any Firefox user. In fact, I am surprised that it is not implemented by default in the browser.

Undo close tab doesn't work as it works in 'Default New Private Window' of Firefox. I think each 'Private Tab' is a 'New Private Window' in itself. Anyway the undo tab history can be mantain until atleast one 'Private Tab' is open like sharing memory, info between different tabs open with 'Private Tab'?

Thank you so much for writing this add-on.
I gave it four stars only because it could use a configuration panel for changing or deleting hotkeys. I'm one of those who prefers no hotkeys, but there are other people who need to change the hotkey combinations for accessibility. For me, editing the about:config is no big deal, but for others, it is, especially for accessibility's sake.Like other reviewers, I too would like to see an appearance change for private tabs, so while you're thinking about it, I used the userChrome.css to address the issue.
The relevant CSS I used is:.
.tabbrowser-tab[privateTab-isPrivate],
.tabbrowser-tab[privateTab-isPrivate] .tab-content
{ background:#555 !important; color:#ddd !important; }
.tabbrowser-tab[privateTab-isPrivate] .tab-close-button
{ /* this needs to change the default image as it's a bit dark with my colors */ }
.tabbrowser-tab[privateTab-isPrivate][selected],
.tabbrowser-tab[privateTab-isPrivate][selected] .tab-content
{ background:#777 !important; color:#fff !important; }
.tabbrowser-tab[privateTab-isPrivate]:hover,
.tabbrowser-tab[privateTab-isPrivate]:hover .tab-content
{ background:#669 !important; color:#fff !important; }
I hope this helps, and others may find it useful. Thank you again for making this add-on.
[edited this post to fix the colors]

This add-on is extremely useful for people who want to login to web sites such as Google with different user names, but don't want to have multiple windows open.

As TVTropes would say, it is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.It needs a small marker on the tab and header bar that marks it as a private tab. It looks like the original tab, which is great and nice, but a bit too confusing for my tastes. I am still going to be using this.Mozilla needs to add this.

Most people don't bother using private browsing/incognito windows just because of how inconvenient they are. Private Tabs makes it so simple to access private browsing that sometimes I open links in private tabs by accident (out of habit, not by error!). This is private browsing implemented right!

This addon is what i think is must to have , indeed it should be a default in Firefox . The Best thing about this addon is easily customizable styles of tabs with userChrome.css and the brilliant/Simple API support which is very useful for me to create custom Firegestures scripts with ease .
Bcoz of this no need to open a new Window do check private Browsing. Thanks to developer for providing this addon.
