On Chrome browser, you can select which extensions are active in private mode (incognito). How to do the same in Firefox please? (By default Firefox allows all add-ons in Private mode).

Firefox doesn't have that as a native feature; the enabled/disabled status of add-ons is unchanged in private mode (although all add-ons are required to comply with the private mode rules regarding data retention). But there's a workaround to accomplish what you want.



You can have more than one profile, and each profile is independent as far as what add-ons are installed or enabled.




  • Create a new profile, including just the add-ons you want in private mode. If you're in Firefox, enter about:profiles in the URL window, and that has an option to create a new one.


  • Create a shortcut to launch Firefox in private mode using that profile. The command line would look like:



    firefox -private -P "new_profile_name"

  • Thank you. Some follow-ups: 1. I looked into this profile option but it seems like it will have it's own bookmarks too. Any way to access the same bookmarks 2. This profile option seems the same as downloading a separate portable Firefox and configuirng that with no add-on. Is that correct?

Папа Каликст III Кардиналы, возведённые Папой римским Каликстом III  — 9 прелатов и мирян были возведены в сан кардинала на двух Консисториях за трёхлетний понтификат Каликста III. Самой крупной консисторией были Консистория от 17 декабря 1456 года, на которой было возведено шесть кардиналов. Папа Каллист III хотел назвать отца Жан Сорета, O.Carm., епископом или кардиналом, но он отказался, потому что хотел посвятить себя своему ордену и продвижению религиозного рвения и соблюдения устава монашеского ордена.
