Private_Tab

Private_Tab copied to clipboard

If I open my RSS feed from the toolbar in the browser window, I get the option to open it in a private tab as shown below:

However, when I attempt to do the same from the Library view, I can't open the same RSS feed in a private tab as shown below:

Can you please add this feature if possible?

I'll try to implement this. But it's difficult to implement "Open All in Private Tabs" because I'm reuse some built-in code and need to know target browser window (currently I just call built-in function to open bookmarks and toggle private mode for all new tabs). And for now only "Open in a New Tab" uses only non-private windows, this looks like a bug and may be changed later. And Library also works fine without opened browser windows.

Also you can open chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul in tab or use bookmarks sidebar.

Thanks for the explanation. Given a choice between "Open All in Private Tabs" and "Open in Private Tab" for the library module, I would be content with the single tab option. I did accidentally discover that Library can be standalone.

Thanks for your suggestion of the bookmarks sidebar. However, since I have a dual monitor set-up, it makes it much easier for my workflow to have the library open on a separate monitor without cluttering up the main interface. However, I was completely unaware of the the tab feature and it does help when I am traveling. Thanks so much for sharing that vital tip :)

Yet another trick. You can use following code to open Library in "popup" window (this is separate browser window with only one tab, but all toolbars are hidden):

window.openDialog(
    getBrowserURL(),
    "_blank",
    "chrome,dialog=0,resizable=1",
    "chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul"
);

Or the same with simple fix for window title:

var win = window.openDialog(
    getBrowserURL(),
    "_blank",
    "chrome,dialog=0,resizable=1",
    "chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul"
);
win.addEventListener("load", function removeURLFromTitle(e) {
    win.removeEventListener("load", removeURLFromTitle, false);
    var doc = win.document;
    function updateTitle() {
        var oldTitle = doc.title;
        var newTitle = oldTitle.replace(/^\w+:\S* - /, "");
        if(newTitle != oldTitle)
            doc.title = newTitle;
    }
    updateTitle();
    var stopTime = Date.now() + 5e3;
    var updateTitleTimer = win.setInterval(function() {
        if(Date.now() > stopTime)
            win.clearInterval(updateTitleTimer);
        updateTitle();
    }, 200);
}, false);

And Firefox (and Private Tab with extensions.privateTab.dontUseTabsInPopupWindows = true) doesn't use tabs in such windows. To run the code you can use extension like Custom Buttons.
