How to make the new tab page show up in private browsing by default
When a private browsing window opens, I would like to have the new tab page (or any home page) show on startup. By default, about:privatebrowsing (without preceding dialog) will show. Always.

Hello,
Do you want to open the default home page or the about:blank page to open up when you open the private browsing ? If so, this enhancement is under discussion here Set home page for private browsing. Suggest you upvote the requirement and add your feedback on the requirement. That way the product management team will be able to prioritize it.
Thank you

Hi gnittala,
cool, thanks. I just went through the thread and will add my opinion.
In case anyone else has the same problem: I'll append about:newtab to my default command line / launching shortcut (I use PB by default). Doesn't work nicely but better than nothing.
Thanks again for the hint!
