Although I want to leave history, and other tracking features active, there are times when I would like to use the Private Browsing mode. In windows there is a shortcut menu to start Firefox in Private Browsing mode. Since I cannot locate such a similar shortcut in my current Ubuntu Mate Environment, I would like to create a launcher item to start directly in Private Browsing mode without having to open a regular window in the first place.

I am guessing it should be a simple matter of finding the appropriate command line switch to start Firefox in such a mode.
