Ive seen that others have also asked what I am about to and have gotten no response but I'm "THAT" mom that wont stop until I get a solution.... That being said my question / concern is: How do parents DISABLE "InPrivate Browsing". Seems awfully disturbing to me that there is no parental control that allows parents to remove that option to protect our children and I will not stop asking questions, emailing and calling if I can find a phone number, until I find resolution to know I can safely allow my children to use the internet without them being able to be sneaky and hide things that could potentially be a danger to their safety.... Obviously I am not the only parent concerned with this matter by the other questions Ive seen on this topic so all I can say is "do better Firefox", parents shouldn't have to struggle and not get responses on how to keep our children safe while using your browser

You can create a document called a Policy to disable private browsing but that may be more than you are able and willing to do. I'll provide a link if you wish to do that. In the meantime, the article linked below may explain it.

Otherwise, there may be security software which imposes parental controls.
