Do I need to select the Private/Incognito Window each time? Can't I get it to DEFAULT to this option?

Is there any way to select this option as a DEFAULT? If there is, I am not seeing it. Only that I can select a private tab.

Hi

Not in Firefox for Android, but you can do this in our new Android browser, Firefox Preview. In Settings menu, under Private Browsing, you can select to "Add private browsing shortcut" which will add an icon to your Android homescreen that takes you straight to private browsing mode.

I hope this helps.
