One of the new features was added to the pre-release version of Firefox 3.1 is Private Browsing. I am looking forward to this great feature in Firefox after I had an experience with Google Chrome’s Incognito. After know this news, I am excited and downloaded the latest Firefox 3.1 beta 2 pre-release version (aka nightly builds) to try which has this feature baked in.

To start your Firefox with Private Browsing always on mode, type “about:config” in the address bar of Firefox, click “I’ll be careful, I promise” button to proceed, type “browser.privatebrowsing.autostart” in the Filter text box, and double click the entry to change the value to “true”. You can change the value to “false” to turn the Private Browsing feature off.
