It still does all of that though? The only thing that stopped working was that you use the standard app shortcut to start it in private mode. And for that you can make a separate shortcut.

It still works if you follow a link from another app that it opens that in private mode. It still works that the browser closes tabs automatically after a set time and that it clears history fully upon quiting.

I am not sure what you are now missing.

The open links in private tab works fine still. However what OP means, and I can confirm that, you were able to setup Fennec to always start in private mode when you open it, without making a specific shortcut for it.

I just checked in Ironfox and there it still works like that. I could however not find a specific setting that does this.

So this makes me think, OP, what you and I were using was maybe never intended to work as expected but potentially a bug that got fixed. You can still open links automatically in private mode and you can add the extra shortcut for when you manually start the browser.

It’s because being an astronaut is an actual job you commit to or you won’t get to do your job. Guitarist can mean anything from picking up the guitar once a month to being lead guitarist in the best band of the world.

One is a job description, the other one can be just a hobby or a full blown job.

You’re too optimistic here. Such people will only realise their error if something bad happens to them that also screams at them that it was only possible because of their privacy eroding. They don’t usually connect the dots themselves.

If there’s a German code that would work as you intended (if I got you right) but it doesn’t for you, since you don’t live in Germany, would it work to make the machine believe it is located in Germany?

They might have hardcoded a location into it, then you are out of luck. But maybe they determine it via the internet connection you use to update? So you could potentially have it connected to a VPN through your router, which fakes a German location? Probably too simple a solution.

That’s hilarious. Allows you to burn it. Doesn’t allow you to just directly download it.
