Firefox 4: looks amazing - main thing is it looks as htough it open fast - this was what made it suck before

Private browsing: great - but how do I have a normal window AND private browsing open at the same time?

I don't want to go into long explanations, but I need to do this - all the time + Importantly' I need to clear the cache, so when I launch it another time, the old cookies from the previous private session are not there

In Chrome, I can do this. I press Ctrl Shift N - and I get a new browser popup - they refer to as 'incognito'

Unfortunately, Chrome have introduced a fantastic new feature where you can't now clear the cache and cookies in 'incognito' browsing

Why did Firefox developers think that people only want to do one thing at a time - i.e. normal browsing OR private browsing - but NOT both at the same time??

Maybe I'm missing something and I can do what I want Else, hope the feedback helps

Thanks
