Firefox 20 Will Finally Fix Private Browsing Mode

darthcamaro writes "Unlike every other major browser vendor, Mozilla today does not allow users to have their private mode browser window open at the same time as a regular browser window. That's now set to change. This is a flaw that has been in Bugzilla since 2008 and has been the subject of heated discussion for years."

    I would totally mess that up. Open porn in the wrong tab and forget to clear cache because I'm used to not having to do so.

    It doesn't help that I have 50 tabs open at one time, usually in the same window.

    Chrome is version 23, so Firefix is still lame, and lord help IE stuck at version 10.
