I was wondering how to check when private browsing was used last on my computer. I know that I can't view the history in private browsing mode, but can I see how often and when it was used last ? Thank you

Sorry, there is no way of tracking when PB is used.

If you see unexplained gaps in the browsing history when you are sure that Firefox was used then it is possible that Firefox was in PB mode.

If you have security software (firewall) or a router that keeps a log then you can check that.
