Automatically Start in Private Browsing Mode (Firefox 3.1)

Private Browsing allows you to surf the web without recording a history of the sites visited and without saving any information about the session. If Firefox is to be installed on a public computer, then starting it in Private Browsing mode is a must.


1. Open Firefox 3.1.

2. In the Location Bar, input about:config.

3. Click to get past the warning message that appears.

4. Locate the Preference Name browser.privatebrowsing.autostart.

5. Double-click the preference and change the value to true.

The next time you open Firefox, it will be in Private Browsing mode.
