Thanks Sebestian. Yes it was because of no indication of being in Private mode when Firefox 43 opened. But opening any new tab would result in Cature.PNG (see atched file) which has a lot of indication that private mode is on.
Also, even though this works, I'm not sure it cleared the activation list because the HAR file again had the last step repeated as the first one. But incase I manually clear the Activation LIst before the selenium test execution begins then the HAR file does not contain the erroneous last step showing again as the first step. Thanks anyways. The solution to this would require either a way to programatically clear the activation list of firefox start or some fix from HAR NetExport owner (Honza) to handle this while generating the HAR file.
