Why Can't I Right-click Open A Bookmark Into A Private Window?
Hello Mozilla,
I have always wondered why am I not allowed to right-click open any of my bookmarks from a normal window into a "Private Window" like in Opera or "Incognito Window" like in Google Chrome???
Why do I first have to click open the menu(or Ctrl+Shift+P), click "New Private Window" just so I can then be able to use my bookmarks in Private mode. In Google Chrome and Opera I don't need to open a Private Window. I can just right-click any bookmark in a normal window and automatically open it into a private window for many years now.
Why can't Firefox do the same?

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
You will also have the choice in the context menu to open a bookmark in a new Private Tab.
Why can't it do it natively like Opera and Chrome? "You will also have the choice in the context menu to open a bookmark in a new Private Tab." How do I open/access "context menu"?
Also this Add-on does not solve the issue. It still requires me to open a menu, open a "Private tab, then click one of the bookmarks instead of the direct right click-bookmark-into-Private/Incognito-Window method of Opera and Chrome.

You can right-click the bookmark to find that choice in the right-click context menu. For bookmarks there is only the choice to "Open in a New Private Tab". For links on web pages you also can open the link in a New Private Window
Is there a way to make a suggestion directly to Mozilla about adding the native ability to right click your bookmarks in a normal window into private window to the browser?
I am aware that this is the support forums for Mozilla products but what are the chances they read forum questions?

This is a rather unfortunate issue. I feel like this shouldn't even be an issue/problem.
