This extension is very nice, but it's flawed and when you open multiple private windows in a row you get a purple page.

Works well. I'm on Firefox's 75 and 76 as I write this. After installing, you must exit all running firefoxes of course. This extension is NOT about automatically going to private mode, it is about getting rid of that loud screaming purple page that announces to everyone around who is looking at your screen that you are about to go into online banking or whatever. Also, as it installs, don't forget to switch on the new setting to "allow it to run on private windows" - by definition, that's the ONLY time this thing needs to work! If you missed that at installations, it's easy enough (at the moment) to find that setting for each addon in the addons page. This item should be put into the "Recommended Extensions" program. Is the nazi-half of Mozilla development teams holding it back, or is it just too much trouble? EDIT: doesn't work when you click [+] for a new tab! Still get a purple. I suppose the "new tab" URL needs setting somewhere?

Is Blank Private Browsing Page Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Blank Private Browsing Page requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Blank Private Browsing Page may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
