where could I find a complete set of command line options for firefox?
i believe the gnu/linux manual "man firefox" is wrong
"man firefox" on lubuntu 16.04 with default installed firefox "firefox -v => Mozilla Firefox 53.0" says "-private
Start firefox in private browsing mode"
but i only managed to create a command line to open firefox in private with "firefox -private-window " according to "firefox -private-window"
I also used "-url "about:privatebrowsing""
there is no mention to -url in the "man firefox"

Command Line Options - Mozilla
Example Usage: C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\firefox.exe [ options ... ] [URL]
where options include:
-h or –help Print this message. -v or –version Print Firefox version. -P <profile> Start with <profile>. -migration Start with migration wizard. -ProfileManager Start with ProfileManager. -no-remote Do not accept or send remote commands; implies -new-instance. -new-instance Open new instance, not a new window in running instance. -UILocale <locale> Start with <locale> resources as UI Locale. -safe-mode Disables extensions and themes for this session. -console Start Firefox with a debugging console. -jsconsole Open the Error console. -browser Open a browser window. -new-window <url> Open <url> in a new window. -new-tab <url> Open <url> in a new tab. -preferences Open Options dialog. -search <term> Search <term> with your default search engine. -setDefaultBrowser Set this app as the default browser.
Not too sure what your problem is but it seems to work as expected. You need to place the url after the option. From a CLI
firefox -private http://example.com
works for me to open the url in a private mode window.
I note from http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man1/firefox.1.html It explains:
SYNOPSIS firefox [OPTIONS] [url] .... OPTIONS
...
-private Start firefox in private browsing mode
