Extension Metadata
About this extension
Firefox add-on to always open specific websites in private windows.
This Firefox add-on provides the functionality to configure a whitelist of domain names. If while browsing a domain name matches a domain on the whitelist, this add-on will try to prevent Firefox from loading the website in a non-private window, open a new private window and load the website there.
Because of how webextension add-ons work, it is not always possible to prevent Firefox from loading a website. However, this add-on will always open a new private window and load the website there.
Usage
Always Open Privately needs the permission to run in private windows. This setting may be set manually in the add-on manager in Firefox.
In the settings panel, add one domain per line.
Permissions
The add-on requires several permissions. It just asks for the absolutely required permissions.
