Is there option to open a single tab of private browsing without closing all normal browsing windows?
I googled my question and found a similar question with an answer, but the link to the add-on was disabled by an admin (anyone tell me why?).
I want to have a single tab of private browsing opened when I do my banking. I want other tabs to be normal ones (cnn, reddit, etc.) so I can login without hassle. When I click "start private browsing" all tabs close... It makes me very irritated that this simple option doesn't exist.

You can open another instance of Firefox with its own profile folder if you want to use Private Browsing mode to access specific sites.

Sorry, that isn't possible - it's all tabs/windows or nothing with Private Browsing.

Private Browsing doesn't have anything to do with security when connected to a secure website for doing online banking.

Here's something you can do. Download another browser, like Aurora, and just use Private Browsing on that.
