Browser staying in private mode after closing and reopening the app

I’d wish this behaviour to be back…

Thanks!

In this situation, it is not possible to choose private browsing and therefore the first web page can only be in open mode, not in private mode. The browser does not remember priva…

But thank you for mention it again. I miss that functionality too. Also there isn’t any option to start from command line the browser in private mode.

One more post in the same topic:

Browser.privatebrowsing.autostart

If I set browser.privatebrowsing.autostart to TRUE in prefs.js (via about:config), sailfish-browser keeps starting in normal mode. Is there an other way to force private mode?
