How can i open a TEXTPAD LINK in recent versions of firefox in a P R I V A T E window?

No matter what i've tried in recent versions of firefox, i can ONLY open a textpad link in a private window with OLD VERSIONS of firefox, where a private window REPLACES non private window(s) ! In later versions, private mode opens an ADDITIONAL window that is private, but the non private window(s) remain too. So when I right click on a link in Textpad to open it, it ALWAYS opens the link in the latest NON private window!!! Even if I get rid of the non private windows! I have tried Palemoon Browser(an optimized clone of Firefox) & no difference, unless I use old version 19.0.2 of that browser. If there was a way in the registry(via an addon or manual change) to make the latest vers of FF beHAVE like the much older version when going into private mode, that might be a quick fix. Have I stumped everyone? lol

Well... even though there is a command-line option to open a new private window, there is no way to feed a URL to that window externally. Firefox will always open the URL in a new non-private window. It's not clear why it was set up this way.
