Is there a way to make Firefox open a tab as a private tab?

2

Is there a Firefox addon that will let me open a tab as a private tab? Otherwise, I have to open a new private window.

When I open pages like Amazon I sometimes want to use them anonymized because of the cookie tracking of my searches.

Maybe a cookie-management addon would suffice? – Bobby – 2010-11-10T08:26:00.030

The best alternative is to use Private Browsing Window addon. It starts a new Firefox instance with a new profile.

I fear this is not feasible in Firefox right now. Unfortunately the same problem applies to Tor.

You could try to file a bug to request it, though.

I can recommend you addons such as privacy badger and uBlock origin, to block yourself from trackers.

Sites can't track with these enabled hence the anonymity.

The Temporary Containers extension adds a per-tab/container private browsing mode, isolated from other tabs/containers.

Open tabs, websites, and links in automatically managed disposable containers. Containers isolate data websites store (cookies, storage, and more) from each other, enhancing your privacy and security while you browse.

Easily open disposable containers that isolate attached data and are deleted after usage.
