I see how to open a private browsing tab when I run Nightly in desktop mode, but that option goes away when I run it in Metro/Windows 8 Touch mode. Is there a way to open a private tab in touch mode?

Hello,

Looks like this is not available yet. Based on this bug Bug# 771188, the option is to restart Firefox in private mode. Private-mode tabs are not yet available on FF Metro.

Others in the community can correct me if I am wrong.

Hope this helps

Thank you for your reply. I installed the add-on, but it did not provide an in-private tab option for windows 8 touch mode.
