Feature Reference

• Meta Bug: bug 1196227
• Overal Status:
  • Aurora:
  • Beta:
• Owner:(Catalin Suciu, irc: csuciu)

Requirements

• Enable users to initiate Private Browsing tabs
• Ensure the following data is not saved:
  • Visited pages (URLs)
  • Form data (including usernames and passwords)
  • Search entries
  • Cookies
  • Temporary Internet files (cached files)
• Ensure it is intuitive and simple to initiate a private browsing tab (session)
• Allow both private and non-private tabs to exist in the same browser session (per-tab Private Browsing and not per-window Private Browsing)

User Stories

As a user, I want to initiate a Private Browsing tab on the household iPad so I can search for that perfect diamond ring without my partner clueing in on what I'm up to.

As a user, I don't want to have to open up a new browser session just to use Private Browsing if I've already got a non-private browsing session going. 
As a user, I don't want my Top Sites, search history or form data saved when Private Browsing so I don't populate my Firefox data with stuff I don't want in there.
