Sorry ts, I had misunderstood the problem you described. I can confirm that with no previously running instance of firefox, executing "firefox -private URL" opens the URL but *not* in a private window. However running the same command without a URL parameter does open a private window as expected.
If you read https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#-private, you'll see that the documentation doesn't mention a URL parameter for the "-private" switch, whereas it does for the "-private-window" switch, so I'd argue this is the expected behaviour (although it would probably be a good idea to print out a fat warning on the console to warn the user that the URL is not being opened in a private window). Or do you mean that "firefox -private" (without a URL parameter) doesn't open a private window? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835650 Title: firefox fails to open private sessions from bash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1835650/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
