    Hello,

    Could you please update this add-on so that it also works when selecting “Open in Private Window” from the tab’s context menu?

    For reference, here is a screenshot:

    Ideally, it would be great if the “Open in Private Window” option could be positioned directly below the native “Open in New Container Tab” entry for consistency.

    Additionally, it would be helpful to have an option to disable or hide the “Open Page in Private Window” entry from the page context menu. This would allow users who prefer using the add-on only from the tab context menu to avoid cluttering their page context menus.

    Thank you for considering these requests.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I see that you are not alone. Other people have filed GitHub issues with similar suggestions. I don't know when I'll have time to work on them, but are links if you'd like to follow the issues:

    One of my favourite extensions. Very useful when you run multiple extensions in the normal windows and want to run a window without them.

    Works nice, does what I need for temporarily open a pesky page without ad blocker without the danger of getting trackers installed. One star less for missing a configurable keyboard shortcut function like many other plugins do.

    Perfect! Just what I needed.

    Perfect. Other add-ons require permissions, but this one does not.

    If you have Tinywall (a firewall) running then disable global control keys in that application as it uses Ctrl+Shift+P (the Firefox default for opening a Private Window)

    Doesn't work in Firefox 75.

    EDIT: I stand corrected. You need to enable the permission which allows the extension to run in private windows. Makes sense.

    It still works for me. When installing the extension did you check the "Allow this extension to run in Private Windows" option? The extension needs that permission, since it opens private windows. Look in about:addons > "Open Page in Private Window" extension's "Manage" options and confirm that the "Run in Private Windows" option set to "Allowed".

    The context menu to open in private window is available but nothing happens. No error msgs. No new windows. Nothing. May be a conflict with other add-ons. Will update once I figure out which if any is conflicting :(

    Does the "Open Page in Private Window" toolbar button work on the page the context menu item fails to open? Is "Run in Private Windows" set to "Allowed" in about:addons > "Open Page in Private Window" extension's "Manage" options?

    Working as expected. can I ask if it's possible to open links through mouse click (using a key combination + mouse click for example) in private window?

    You can open a link in a private window by right-clicking on a link and selecting "Open Page in New Private Window" in the mouse menu. This feature is built into Firefox. This is not as convenient as a key combination + left mouse click, but it's already built into Firefox.

    Great

    Does exactly what it says it does. Hopefully they add support for opening a private tab.
