If you want a new private window, why don't you click the New Private Window button?

Ha?
We should click only once to get into Private mode. From that point on, the use should be like a normal browser... New Window button, is one of what I'm used to get a new window, like Ctrl+N.

I want an even more complex behaviour:

1. Left clicking the PW: open a vertical menu consisting of

• opened PW visually identical with how tabs are listed on the tab bar (but vertically arranged) with ability to switch to a PW and ability to close a PW with a close button identical to tab close button
• new PW button/item
• exit all PW

2. Right clicking the PW: open a new PW
3. Middle click: close all opened PW

User should be able to choose in about:config what left and right clicks do (so OP could make left click open a new PW, while I would prefer to make left click view the PW menu)
