The -private-toggle command line option is not working in Firefox 20.0.1
Hi I install Firefox 20.0.1
I try to use -private-toggle from
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#-private-toggle
and it is not working. I try
firefox-path.exe -private-toggle url1 url2
In firefox 19 this was working.
Thanks

hello frodin, i suppose this won't work anymore since per-window private browsing mode was introduced in firefox 20 and this documentation is outdated.
Try the -private-window command line switch if it is no longer possible toggle it.
The Firefox release source code still shows a reference to -private-toggle, but the source code of the current 21.0 beta and later no longer gives results.
yes... but using:
firefox-path.exe -private-window url1 url2
opens a private window and a normal window with url1 and url2. This is a design fault as the args in command line say something else.
With -private-toggle we can setup how the firefox will open not wasting clicks/copy-pastes/bookmarks (even for a folder with multi-bookmarks there is no functionality to add a shortcut for a quick way to access our links)
Also might be similar to that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=829180
There must be an option (even to config) to open everything in private mode if we wish.
Thanks
PS. also something else: why only "new private window"... if you want to do it like this you must add and "new window" option.

Just use the -private switch.
