After downloading FF 20, I cannot use Private Browsing.
Good Morning I cannot use Private Browsing since downloading FF 20. I have Win7/64 bit Home Premium. I checked the Help articles, but this directs me to the "Firefox Button" at the top of the window. I do not have this button. I would be grateful for advice, as I find private Browsing very useful. Thanks for a brilliant, ever-improving Browser.

Hi raycer27 How to find Private Browsing now: <File> <New Private Window> Sounds simple, doesn't it? Well it stumped me too at first! Hope that helps.

Hi Robzere
Try reinstall your browser. The Private Browsing is a feature in the FF20 aswell, so it must be an installation issue. Let me know if it helps. If not try the following Start -> Control Panel -> Add/delete programs -> Right click on FF and click repair and run it.
Hi cityof ulysees and thanks for your swift, informative response. I am ashamed to say that I had not looked hard enough to find the new way to use Private browsing, which is much easier to use. If I had checked <File> <New Private Window> I would have found it before asking the question. My apologies and my thanks!
I did this and found no such tab allowing me to select "repair". I still would like to go back to the old way of being able to select it on my own.

Thanks Robzere!
No worries, glad to be of assistance!
Thanks so much. this worked great. Now, how do I 'restore' my open windows in my previous/non-private session? Thanks so much.
You can check if there as recently closed windows.

Note that you do not have to close the normal window(s) when starting a New Private Window.
