I can start the browser in private mode, but i still need to launch a site after wards. I would like to be able to append the private tag to a url and launch that url in a private session.

Make a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the -private switch and the URL to the command line (target) via the right-click context menu Properties.

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\" -private -url http://xxxx

This works, but also launches a Private Browsing window without an address. Stating the private browsing warning. Is there a way to prevent the second window?

Hello,

Per the above comment, I'd like to launch firefox via the command line to a URL.

Is there any way to do this?

firefox.exe -private -url http://xxxx doesn't work for the above use case.

Thanks in advance.

Does it help if you set the browser.privatebrowsing.dont_prompt_on_enter pref to true?
