Using -private in conjunction with -new-window isn't working correctly
Using an external program to launch Firefox with command line arguments, it seems that using -private and -new-window URL doesn't seem to work correctly. It's almost as if one or the other gets completely ignored. Has anyone else noticed this?
Ideally, i'd like to be able to ALWAYS launch a new window to a specified URL in private mode by default.

It is not possible to open an external link in a Private Browsing mode window.
You can look at this extension:
The Firefox menu button gets a purple background or you get a purple PB mask on the Menu bar or tab bar (Linux) when you are in a PB tab and all Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underlining unless you are in permanent PB mode.
You can set the extensions.privateTab.allowOpenExternalLinksInPrivateTabs pref to true on the about:config page to see if that works (haven't tested this with a command line).
