FF4 final release: Click the Firefox menu, then choose "Start Private Browsing." Once in private mode, click the Firefox menu again and instead of displaying "Stop Private Browsing" it still displays "Start Private Browsing."

I think this is a regression as I'm pretty sure it was correct in previous beta versions.

Chosen solution

Seems to be working fine here.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See:


Create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Hmmm... seems like just restarting FF did the trick. Weird, but guess we're OK now. Thanks!
