Trying to open w/ parameter -private

Unread post by wavymoon » 2017-09-24, 16:13

I wanted to do this( with a regular session already running) to a link in Thunderbird w/ Addon 'open with' but was unable, trouble shooting from command line

Code: Select all

 "C:\Apps\palemoon\palemoon.exe"  -private 
also failed to open in private mode (history of new window visible from regular session).
What am I doing wrong here?

Not sure about Windows, but on Linux correct command for this would be:

Code: Select all

palemoon -private-window
Probably running the following command will help you find the correct switch for private mode:

Code: Select all

"C:\Apps\palemoon\palemoon.exe"  --help
