Firefox’s private browsing mode is pretty sweet when it comes to surfing the Web and hiding your tracks, however it is still relatively difficult to get into. Due to this fact, many people forget it is there or never use the private browsing mode feature. I have found an extension though that allows you to right-click any link and choose to open the link in the private browsing mode in Firefox. It’s name is Open in Private Browsing Mode.

Make Firefox Menu Even More Compact
Before Firefox 4, the menu items for the browser – such as File, Edit, View, History and more were all over the place.

Then you need to pick up Compact Menu 2.
