Firefox 20 Will Finally Fix Private Browsing Mode

Posted by Soulskill on from the we-know-what-you-use-it-for dept.

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'm waiting for incognito mode not only not to leave track on the computer itself but also on the remote sites I visit. How is it incognito if I connect somewhere I've been before to and you send the cookies that were already saved for that site, for example?

    So basically, fix the thing :-)

    For firefox this is actually pretty good. My personal favorite bug is still plaguing users of FF over 11 years after being reported.

    Well some of us do more with a computer than check up on the latest kardashian kraze and failbook. While we have browser preferences, we tend to choose the one that has the plugins we need, even if it is technically inferior software.
