Do you have any option to restore a closed private tab? I don't see it in the right click menu.

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

Unfortunately no, due to recent changes in Firefox "Session Restore" component.

A great looking addon but it has an issue that is a deal breaker for me.

CTRL+SHIFT+T is unable to bring up a closed private tab, where as in a private window this can be done.

Edit: It is a shame there is no way around this. After reading the provided docs I can only hope the FF devs expose the required functionality again some day or provide decent private tabs in FF.

I've adjusted my rating to account for the situation.

See https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/issues/146
Also see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=956826#c8 (and below).
So, now this is hardcoded inside Firefox "Session Restore" component with special handling only for private windows: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=961380

Замечательный аддон, давно пользуюсь. Про плюсы писать даже странно как-то - он делает то, для чего создан и делает это хорошо. До Аустралис-ового апгрейда всё было вообще прекрасно.

В FF29+, при использовании Classic Theme Restorer и вынесении кнопки на панель вкладок (перед обычной "новой вкладкой") возникают две бяки:
1) лишний разрыв (padding) между кнопками новых вкладок (обычной и приватной). Расчёт идёт на Аустралис, а там разрыв между иконками существенно больше.
2) замена иконки на обычный "плюс" - при выборе в настройках CTR белого цвета значков на панели.

Не уверен, что эти претензии по адресу, поскольку это конфликт аддонов, но выбивается по графике именно Ваша кнопка. Было бы круто это дело пофиксить.

EDIT: Ок, спасибо. Беты CTR пока не ставил - ждал релиза 1.2.2. Второй косяк в 1.2.1 не исправлен, если и в бетах нет - отпишусь автору CTR.

Это уже исправлено в разрабатываемых версиях Classic Theme Restorer (1.2.2beta2 и новее):

У меня все нормально, как минимум, с Classic Theme Restorer 1.2.1 и 1.2.2beta*.
К тому же, заменяются иконки только у фиксированного набора кнопок, так что кнопку Private Tab эти стили затрагивать не должны.
В любом случае, если проблема все еще присутствует в последних версиях Classic Theme Restorer (нужно поменять еще какие-то настройки?), надо сообщить об этом автору.

Really like new private: feature, I just edit some of my bookmarks to open it self in private tab without having to open private tab first and open bookmark after! Only thing that annoy me a little is that private bookmark shows blank favicon.

And since I put New Private Tab button in Australis hamburger menu, default icon is not matching Firefox icon style, so I have to manually download XPI and replace icon file with icon that look like default New Private Window icon. ;)

> Really like new private: feature
Oh, not so new, but was improved. :)

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/private-tab/versions/0.1.5
> 0.1.4 (2013-08-19)
> + Implemented "private" protocol: now we can use special URLs to open private tabs from bookmarks or from command line (example: private:///#https://addons.mozilla.org/, may be disabled using extensions.privateTab.enablePrivateProtocol preference) (#89)


> Only thing that annoy me a little is that private bookmark shows blank favicon.
Hmm... should work fine with most pages with "/favicon.ico" favicons, like
https://www.google.com/
https://www.google.com/favicon.ico
Anyway, I'll try to improve this:

> And since I put New Private Tab button in Australis hamburger menu, default icon is not matching Firefox icon style, so I have to manually download XPI and replace icon file with icon that look like default New Private Window icon. ;)

You can use userChrome.css or Stylish
http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/stylish/
to change icon, example:

/* Special icon for Australis menu */
#privateTab-toolbar-openNewPrivateTab[cui-areatype="menu-panel"] {
    list-style-image: url("chrome://privatetab/content/privacy-32.png") !important;
    filter: url("chrome://mozapps/skin/extensions/extensions.svg#greyscale") !important;
}

I really like this addon, used to use it on Opera v12 or below. Anyway I got an issue when using it with Tab Mix Plus. It doesn't add closed tab list even when on Private Window which usually do.

Thanks for report, will be fixed in the next release:
https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/issues/145

P.S. This is issue with built-in Firefox session mechanism, so the same happens without Tab Mix Plus.

Really good add-on, but i'm not sure if this is a bug or not:

when I was using the firefox's speed dial, I opened a private tab by either keyboard shortcut or the buton and a normal tab the same (shortcut or new tab buton), no matter if I was on a private or normal tab, now this is what i want from this addon.

but then I changed my speed dial to superstart, a really nice and easy to use addon, but now if i'm in a private tab and try to open a normal tab, by either shortcut or new tab buton, a private tab is opened instead, i have to use cntrl+ALT+T or in the context menu of the tab select private tab to reverse it to a normal tab, I find this a little annoying and I don't want to go back to firefox's speed dial.

some help?

This is conflict with "preloading" feature in Super Start 7.0+.
Workaround:
extensions.superstart.page.preload = false (to disable preloading)
browser.newtab.url = "about:superstart" (to correctly detect as empty)

Will be (hopefully) fixed soon, you may track https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/issues/142 to see progress.

The addon works prerfectly but the option to change the shortcuts would be very helpful, the one confilcting is duplicate tab (Ctrl+Alt+T) with switch to private tab.
Also (Ctrl+Alt+P) in FF29 is opening a new normal tab,
which will be ofcourse fixed soon,
(Using TabMixPlus)

You can modify extensions.privateTab.key.* preferences on about:config page, see
https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/blob/0.1.7.1/defaults/preferences/prefs.js#L9-L16

> Also (Ctrl+Alt+P) in FF29 is opening a new normal tab

Strange, works fine for me with Tab Mix Plus.
But this may be caused by some another extension, see
https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/tree/0.1.7.1#known-issues
