How do you get rid of the private browsing page when you open a new private window?
When I open a private browsing a private browsing page appears and says this:
Private Browsing
Firefox won't remember any history for this window.
In a Private Browsing window, Firefox won't keep any browser history, search history, download history, web form history, cookies, or temporary internet files. However, files you download and bookmarks you make will be kept.
To stop Private Browsing, you can close this window.
While this computer won't have a record of your browsing history, your internet service provider or employer can still track the pages you visit.
I would like to get rid of this any suggestions?

It is not possible to get rid of that page in normal mode. However you do not get that page if you start Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (never remember history).
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Always use Private Browsing mode"
You can use an extension to get Private Browsing mode support per tab.
- Private Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/private-tab/
- Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underline
- You can toggle Private Browsing mode on/off via the right-click context menu of a tab

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do or why, but whilst that tab is displaying if you key into the address bar about:blank and hit the Return key it will give you a blank page instead.
Is that what you wished for ?
Sorry it wasn't quite what I wanted sorry once again but thanks for the tip :)
Are you trying to get rid of the start page of the Private Browsing tab? I'm assuming you're talking about this?
You can't change that AFAIK, I didn't find a value in about:config that could change that. It MIGHT be possible if you edit a .css file but I'm unaware of anything like that.
