If you are viewing a page in a private window and you want to open a new tab in the same window, you can use the regular menu item to do that. In other words, right-click > Open Link in New Tab will open the link in a new tab in the same private window. Does that work for you?

But if you are viewing a page in a regular window and you want to open a new tab in a private window, Firefox only has a menu item to open the link in a new private window, not in an existing private window. Is that the problem?

I have tried this but it is not working. When i click Open Link In New Private Window every time a new window opens. I just want to open those private tabs in same window.

So that is the second scenario, where you are browsing in a non-private window and you want to open a private tab from there into an existing private window? Unfortunately, that is currently only available using an add-on. I haven't reviewed them recently, so I don't have a specific recommendation, but this is similar to what I remember seeing some time ago:

• https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-in-chosen-private-window/
• https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-link-in-other-window/

When I test them tonight, the tab isn't moved to the front, which is a little weird. Why not?

These plug-ins does not work.

Does Firefox display their item at the bottom of the context menu when you right-click a link? When you expand that item, you can choose from a list of the open private windows.

Yes it shows ... but doesn't work... Why Firefox is not working on this feature. It's awful managing private tabs.. There is only way avoiding this is copying the links and pasting in private window but it's time consuming when i am working.

I tried to write an add-on to automate this, but after working on it for 8 hours, it's not consistent. Often when it moves the new window into an existing window, the page just says New Private Tab, the URL gets lost somehow.

Maybe I can try again next weekend, but I'm out of time for now.

I don't know what kind of work you are doing, but if you can open the source page (the one with the links) in a private window, then you can easily open links in tabs in the same window. But if the source page needs to be in a regular window, that won't help.

ok , Thanks I got it.

Can you tell me why firefox consume more ram than other browsers like chrome and edge. I have opened 5 tabs in firefox and it was consuming around 1.5GB of ram. I am using the latest firefox.

It varies depending on the type of page. If you browse down one with endless scrolling like Facebook or Tumblr, Firefox doesn't seem to discard any content, it just keeps growing the footprint of that tab.

A useful tool to see what is consuming memory is the built-in about:processes page. It distinguishes between program components and content.
