:firefox: How to start Mozilla Firefox in private mode by default?

Method 1

Open Firefox
Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter, continue if your browser asks you to confirm
A search bar will appear, type:
browser.privatebrowsing.autostart
Double-click on it to toggle the value to "true"
Restart Firefox to apply your new settings

Method 2

Open Firefox
Go to the Menu icon on the top right of the screen
Click on Settings
Click on Privacy & Security on the right panel
Go to the History section, and select "Use custom settings for history" for the "Firefox will" item.
Check the Always use private browsing mode checkbox
Restart Firefox

Firefox will now auto-start in the private browsing mode, meaning that your browsing history, download history, searches, and form history will not be saved.

Cookies will also automatically be deleted at the end of each browsing session.
