Private Browsing Comes to Firefox

Mozilla has just launched Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 for download. The most notable new feature is probably private browsing mode, which lets you browse without having any of your Web history stored locally.
In a blog post, Mozilla indicates that this is “perfect for online holiday shopping!” but you can probably think of some less savory reasons you may want to use such a feature. The developer who designed private browsing for Firefox has
shared some details about how it works and how to use it.
