I can only be in Private Browsing or regular browsing mode at any one time. It would be nice if different tabs and windows could each remember what state it's in. As other people have reported, downloads stop and any other streams are stopped so, for example, my music will turn off.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open more than one tab, window, or even fire up a separate Firefox process.
2. In any tab or window click Start Private browsing.
3. Only one window remains.
Actual Results:  
I could only stay in Private Browsing and couldn't mix modes.

Expected Results:  
Allow the user to be able to specify which tabs or windows should be in Private Browsing mode.
