Firefox private browsing window

One of the annoying things in Firefox is that private browsing is implemented as an exclusive option, ie. your running session is to be suspended while browsing private. There’s an extension to overcome this (thus enabling to keep your running session open), but we all know that too many Firefox extensions are evil, so here’s a simple way to accomplish the desired functionality (having your normal Firefox session open while having a private browsing window as well):

1. create an additional Firefox profile beside your default one

    firefox --no-remote -CreateProfile private

2. start Firefox privately with your new private profile

    firefox --no-remote -P private -private

That’s all!
