I am running Firefox on my Arch Linux.

Is there a way to modify the default behavior so that links open automatically in a private window instead of a regular one?

I couldn't quite figure that out so instead I used a slightly different method.

To ~/.local/bin I added firefox_open_private.sh

In the file, I added ```#!/bin/bash firefox --private-window "$1"```

I then ran chmod +x ~/.local/bin/firefox_open_private.sh

I set firefox_open_private.sh as my default web browser and now all links open in private tabs.

Edit the .desktop file for the default browser and add the --private-window argument.
