How do I tell Thunderbird to open the default browser in private / incognito mode?
Linux Mint, Thunderbird 52.6.0 user. I open all my browsers in private / incognito mode. When I select a URL in Thunderbird, it opens the default browser properly, except; the window is NOT in private / incognito mode. How do I tell Thunderbird to open the default browser in private / incognito mode? And yes, I know I can copy & paste the link into an already running browser window that is already private / incognito mode, but; that's not the point. I expect that there is an about:config somewhere that would solve this prob.

Thunderbird does not open the application. My understanding is it passes the URL to the operating system wit a request it be opened, which is why whenever there are issues with the default browser passing for URLs is not successful.
Perhaps this is something that might help. https://askubuntu.com/questions/610167/how-to-change-default-browser-and-the-command-line-parameters-used-to-open-a-lin

and how do you start your browser in incognito mode? I am guess some sort of command line switch that is not present when your operating system opens the default browser using the URL it has been given.
You are correct; a command line switch. I know that Thunderbird opens the default browser when a URL is selected and it passes the URL to the browser. I think I want to add that switch to the URL when it is past. I suppose then, the question should be; How can I add a command line switch to a URL in Thunderbird so that it is past along with the URL to the default browser?

Thank you for your assistance. I guess I'll just have to live with copy & paste which will be much faster then going to cli just to open a new window that still wont be private/incognito mode.
