Thank you in advance. :)

It's already there.

Go to File-->New-->Private_Window.
To open a bookmark or link in a private window, right-click-->Open_in_a_Private_Window.

Just a problem.
We can right-click -> open in a private window on a link present in a web page opened by the browser. BUT we cannot right-click -> open in a private window on a link present in a mail nor in a post of a newsgroup.


Can't have a link in Thunderbird open in a private window with Firefox either.

But we have "Open in a New Window" so... why not the "Open in a Private window" option ?
What if you are currently using a private window?


Answering my own question here:

Clicking a link in email or a newsgroup will open a normal window from Thunderbird. The context menu items in Thunderbird are "Open Link in Browser", "Copy Link Location" and "Save Link As...".

If I used a private window, I could use "Copy Link Location" and paste it into the address bar of the private window.

I suspect SeaMonkey is similar.
YES BUT SeaMonkey is a mail/newsgroup reader AND a browser, so I don't understand why right-clicking will not give me the "Open in a private window" option. I say that because right-clicking on a link in a mail give me the "Open in a new window" option.


It's not there because SeaMonkey Mail uses shared MailNews Core code with Thunderbird and that code doesn't have it, is my best guess.

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=MailNews%20Core>

Then again maybe it's shared Core code.

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Core>

Or one of the other components.
