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.

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.
