Here's the solution, using the commands from your link given above:

In the Target area of the shortcut...
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window google.com
That's it!
Thanks. :)

Yes. Create a batch program with the needed switches.
See -new-window <url> and -new-tab <url> ooptions below
Here is an example (on one line only);
C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\firefox.exe -no-remote -P Firefox_v_57
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options
Usage: C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\firefox.exe [ options ... ] [URL] where options include: -h or -help Print this message. -v or -version Print Firefox version. -P <profile> Start with <profile>. -migration Start with migration wizard. -ProfileManager Start with ProfileManager. -no-remote Do not accept or send remote commands; implies -new-instance. -new-instance Open new instance, not a new window in running instance. -UILocale <locale> Start with <locale> resources as UI Locale. -safe-mode Disables extensions and themes for this session. -console Start Firefox with a debugging console. -jsconsole Open the Error console. -browser Open a browser window. -new-window <url> Open <url> in a new window. -new-tab <url> Open <url> in a new tab. -preferences Open Options dialog. -search <term> Search <term> with your default search engine. -setDefaultBrowser Set this app as the default browser.
@FredMcD and others...
Thanks for your reply.
Could you please tell me how to create a actual shortcut that I can click on, bring me into private mode and on to Google? I'm a bit perplexed and lazy.
I could then use your model to learn from.
Cheers! :)

Create a new Text file. Give it a name like; Clouds=Private.txt (example) Write the command in that file using the command switches in my last post. If you need help, tell us the site name and its link.
Rename the file by changing .txt to .bat making it a batch file. Try the batch file. All done.
