Hello!

Android: 4.4.2 Firefox: 45.0.1

I have few browsers on my Android: Stock, Chrome and Firefox. Have no default. So, when I open a link from another application, the menu appears with selector of browser "Just once" with ones above.

Q1: Is it possible to add Android "intent" to open link from another app directly in private tab? So my menu when I open link will lock like:

Stock (never used) Chrome (some sites are developed with only Chrome features - argh) Firefox (my default selection) Firefox private (will be my default selection for "non login" sites)

OR

Stock Chrome Firefox (when I click on it the menu appears with select: 1.Non-Private 2.Private)

Q2: If Q1 is real, how this will impact people with Firefox as default browser? Maybe some kind of menu again. Q3: If Q1 is real - it will be possible to add Desktop Shortcut to open link directly in Private browsing too.

Thanks.

Tell me, please, how? Step by step, please. ;)

I dont want open link in "non-private" tab and then open it in private tab. I want open link in private tab DIRECTLY, skipping "non-private" stage. Or have I understood you incorrectly?
