Just perfect.
I would love if there is a button at the 'New tab' page (about:newtab) to convert it to a Private tab.
I really like keyboards shortcuts but I'm using Ubuntu and I use Ctrl+Alt+T to open my terminal. It will be nice if the user could set the hotkeys.
I would love to see either of the both features.

I'll think about this.

want to [shift]+[mmb] click a link from non private tab and have it open a private tab... can u integrate wit tab mix plus and offer the option
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.7.1-signed).This is most easily to do from Tab Mix Plus (or other click-related extension) side...
Because I don't like to make all-in-one extension, but provide API for other extensions:
https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab#api-functions
So, please try to contact with Tab Mix Plus developers.

I would like to request the ability for the user to enter a list of domains, and from then on have ANY link or bookmark to a domain on the list, come up in a private tab.
In other words, I want to be able to say "make this domain ALWAYS load in a private tab, please". :)
Thanks for your consideration... and for having created this awesome, much-needed add-on in the first place... :)
See https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/issues/100
But state is still the same: I don't know, how to implement this (may be this is impossible).

Adds an entry to the context menu for links to open them in a private tab. Tabs can be toggled between private mode and not. Seamlessly integrates into the browser.
This addon adds what should be a default feature in Firefox.

this is a great option, a mixture of privacy and transparency

Archview for firefox 29+ please
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.7.1-signed).Still works for me, but only for some archives. :(
E.g. works at least for ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/jsshell-win32.zip
I don't know, what is the reason, sorry.

Lovely extension, one query: Is there a way to open several links on a page in private tabs without being immediately taken to each one? I'd like to stay on the page while I open several links, then browse to those I've selected.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.7.1-signed).By default Private Tab respects browser behavior: browser.tabs.loadInBackground (Options – Tabs – When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately) or browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground (for bookmarks) from about:config page.
Or you can change extensions.privateTab.loadInBackground, see
https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/blob/0.1.7/defaults/preferences/prefs.js

Works well, but needs an options menu. In particular, it places itself in menus like the main menu and right-click menus that leave you no option to remove them. You also cannot customize the shortcut key.

You can hide them using userChrome.css (or Stylish extension), see

and https://github.com/Infocatcher/UserStyles/tree/master/Private_Tab_hide_items

Perfect to kill my peeve. Thanks!

It's a small but distinguished list. What this addon does should be standard fare in Firefox itself, but until/if it is, this is a fantastic addon. It's much more convenient, and less resource intensive than opening a new private window.
Now I always close the tab and open a new one when going from one thing/site to something else. I'm a Sandboxie user too and now find myself having to close my browser/sandbox less often, and instead just close out my tab and open a new one.
Great idea here...

Been using it for a year. Works like a charm.

It would be useful to put an icon(Firefox default?) in the tab to indicate that it is in private mode, otherwise it is difficult to identify those specific privative tabs from other tabs when there are many tabs open.

This is Game Changer! I loved Chrome for the incognito function. This private tab add-on thumps chrome out the park. I agree with previous comment, this should be built into firefox

The addon is perfect but I love using keyboard shortcuts, I think you should be able to change the default one to one that you want.
