How to Disable the Privacy / Incognity Window
Hello! My name is Anya. I am desperately trying to manage my social media addiction and to help support that I am wondering if its possible to disable the privacy window. I know I can install a website blocker - which I have, but it does not apply to the private window so I have full access to social media on it, I just have to log in. I want to COMPLETELY block Facebook and Instagram off of my laptop. Is this possible? Thank you!

I think website blocker can work in privacy window too. Check the add-on setting.
Hello
Take a look at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/block-websites-by-domain-list/idi-p/5643 policies.json
Try
{
"policies": {
"WebsiteFilter": {
"Block": [
"*://*.facebook.com/*",
"*://*.instagram.com/*"
]
}
}
}
unfortunately no, as nothing saves when I close the privacy window
You can use a policies.json file to disable Private Browsing mode.

{
"policies": {
"DisablePrivateBrowsing": true
}
}

Anya, this is true. You need to go to the Addons & Themes area (shortcut: Shift+Command+A), find your addon, click the small 3 dots "..." button for that addon then select "Allow" for the "Run in Private Windows" setting. That should force the website blocking addon to work in private mode. You may have to restart the browser after making that change but it usually takes effect immediately. The suggestions about policies.json are good too.
