I wonder why you offer private browsing? Is it really not private browsing and why does this along with goolge watch, share and not allow my movement on the internet? And why do you hide and not give out your phone number for contact info? You can hide or you feel the need to hide?

Please update to the current Firefox 24 release.

  • Help > About Firefox

The Firefox 13 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.

  • It is important to update Firefox and add-ons to the latest version to get all security fixes.

Private Browsing mode only means that Firefox doesn't save data to disk.
It is still possible that extensions and plugins save data to disk as well as security software.
Also nothing changes with respect to visiting websites apart from the fact that all cookies are session cookies and expire when you close the Private Browsing session and only the memory cache is used, so you can't have websites remember you or otherwise store data across sessions.
So do not confuse Private Browsing mode with using an anonymous proxy that hides your IP to web servers.
