Firefox 50.1.0 for Windows has a "Always use private browsing mode" that I use. How do I accomplish the same thing under the android 50.1.0 version. TIA for any help.

Hi

I think I can remember speaking to the team that built Firefox for Android about this in the past.

If I remember correctly, this is something that is currently being worked on with the aim of making it available in a future release.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

Seburo; That answer certainly explains why. How does one get on a notification list as to when that feature / function becomes available? Thank you for your help. Bob Helms

Hi Bob

I recommend you keep an eye on the Firefox Blog for updates on new releases and new features as well as the "release notes" section on the applications page in Google Play.
