Switch off private mode in Firefox

We already explained in another practical tip how to start the private mode of the Firefox browser and what you should pay attention to. If you would like to return to the normal functioning of the browser, proceed as follows:

• Since version 20, Firefox always starts a new window for private mode, which runs parallel to the regular browser. If you want to exit private mode, it is sufficient to close the corresponding window.
• In older versions of the Firefox browser you have to click the Firefox button in the top left and then select "Exit private mode". Alternatively, you can also press the key combination [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [P].
