Running FF 31.0 on OSX 10.9.4 with Private Tab 0.1.7.3

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.7.3.1-signed).

> However with ONLY 1 private tab open (and nothing else), firefox's memory usage really goes high in a ~ 1 hour. I have confirmed that there was no other addon causing this. Is there anything wrong with the addon or ?

Some special site?
I've tried on new empty Firefox profile for private about:newtab page and all works fine.
Also Private Tab doesn't use content-dependent handling, so this may be bug in Firefox itself. And what happens without Private Tab, if used built-in private window? Or even (if this is site-specific) what happens, if used normal tab?
Anyway, please report more details here: https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/issues

[Upd] And may be something useful in about:memory page.


> is it possible to have 2 or more INDEPENDENT private tabs open in a single FF window ?

Unfortunately no, Private Tab uses built-in private browsing implementation that adds only one separate "identity" for all private windows and tabs.
