Click To Private Firefox

Click To Private

By: Wilbird
Adds one-click ways to open links or current page in a new window, in private mode.

Features & Capabilities

Click To Private enables you to:

  • Shift + left-click on a link to open it in a private window ;
  • Click on the extension button to open the current page in a private window.

Important To do its job, this add-on needs the permission to run in private windows. The simple way to do this is during the add-on installation, but you can still enable the permission later in about:addons. (help can be found at Mozilla Support)

Please feel free to send me new or corrected translations on GitHub.

User Reviews

Does exactly what is does. Even better would be if you explain why the permission "access your data for all websites" is needed. Only the URL is needed but that might not be available as separate permission(?). Thanks for this add-on!!!

Is Click To Private 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.

Click To Private requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Click To Private is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
