Both the windows will starting in private browsing mode Noticed few issues Check the attachment 1 [review].The first image(private browsing window) shows that the window is in private browsing so the Menu button should be in violet color but here the Menu button is in orange color 2.The second window(Normal Window) also enters into private browsing mode as the we can see the option "Stop Private Browsing" which can be observed by going to Menu button 3.Unable to come out of private browsing mode by clicking "Stop Private Browsing" as it is grayed out and the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P is also not working Noticed issues 2,3 with 3.6.13 also

The fact that the private browsing command is disabled is by design. This patch fixes the double-window creation problem.

I can still reproduce this issue on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.2a1pre) Gecko/20110403 Firefox/4.2a1pre Adding " -private switch" at the end of the "Target" line is causing the opening of two separate windows, one in normal mode and one in private mode.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.2a1pre) Gecko/20110404 Firefox/4.2a1pre By adding "-private" only one window is opened that is in Private browsing. "Stop private browsing" option is grayed out and the shortcut does not function - this may be a problem. By adding "-private switch", Firefox opens 2 windows that are both in Private browsing. One of the windows contains a link to the website: http://www.ansaldo-sts.com/AnsaldoSTS/EN/index.sdo

Apologies for the delay in getting to this. I tried the reported scenario with Firefox 4.2a1pre (Nightly build Built on 08-Apr-2011 downloaded from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-4.2a1pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe) on Windows 7 OS. Following are my observations: 1. Only one window opens --> Correct behaviour 2. Stop Private Browsing is disabled --> By Design as per ehsan's comments 3. The Firefox Menu option is in orange colour NOT purple --> This might still be an issue since in Private Browsing mode, the colour of Firefox menu option is PURPLE. Hence reopening the defect. Kindly consider the same.

(In reply to comment #12) > 3. The Firefox Menu option is in orange colour NOT purple --> This might still > be an issue since in Private Browsing mode, the colour of Firefox menu option > is PURPLE. Yeah, I need to investigate that. But would you mind filing a new bug, please? This is a different issue than the one this bug was originally filed for, and fixing them in separate bugs makes things less confusing for us in the future. Thanks!

Sure. Raised 649878 for the menu button issue. Retested this with Nightly built on 13-4-2011. Only one window opens up in private browsing mode. Marking this defect as Resolved - Fixed
