Hi Middleson1950, the steps for that are in the "Can I set Firefox to always use Private Browsing?" section of this support article: Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history.

I should mention two issues with automatic private browsing:

(1) Firefox's built-in Password Manager doesn't work properly.

(2) Some add-ons will not work properly (the ones that use the IndexedDB format for data storage).

Also note that Tracking Protection is active by default in Private Browsing mode.
