Private Tab

WebExtensions and support for Firefox 57+
https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/issues/254
https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab_WE#issues
Still not possible to implement using WebExtensions without changes from Firefox side.

Adds private tabs.
Usage: see screenshots.

Also you can create private bookmarks to always open some links in private tabs: just prefix “private:” before URL, example: private:https://addons.mozilla.org/

Some styles for userChrome.css/Stylish to change private tabs appearance:

Works only in Gecko 20.0 and higher (Firefox 20.0+ and SeaMonkey 2.17+) because used API doesn't exist in older versions!

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=800193 for information about “Warning: Only internal code is allowed to set the usePrivateBrowsing attribute” in the Error Console.
