Opening an URL in private mode window from command line does't work.
To confirm the bug try to open an URL via terminal:
Code: Select all
palemoon -private-window http://www.example.com
This will open the URL always in normal window and an additional second empty private window. There is no difference when Pale Moon is already running in private or normal mode. This command opens always two windows.
Firefox has no problems und opens the URL as expected in a single private window.

It's not a bug because it simply isn't functionality we had before. We're not Firefox, please don't expect everything that works in Firefox to work in Pale Moon.
That being said, it's easy to add and seems to already have been offered as a patch
Thanks, GMforker!

So I gather the patch wasn't part of the latest upgrade? I got the same result as the OP reported when I tried the command.

You must use a higher version:

Current trunk progress since release (major changes only):
Added the feature to pass a URL to open in a private window from the command-line.

Ah, thank you for the clarification. It appears to be only for Windows, not for Linux, so it's not something I can install.
