Mozilla may let you set a separate search engine in private browsing sessions soon - silversurfer - 03 October 19

Quote:Mozilla has added two new configurations to Firefox’s about:config menus with its latest nightly release. While the options are disabled by default, enabling them allows you to set a separate search engine for all of your private browsing sessions. The feature was first suggested two years ago on Mozilla’s Bugzilla; the idea had originally been floated by a partner before Mozilla decided to go ahead and implement it.

In recent releases of Firefox, Mozilla has added the Standard, Strict, and Custom privacy profiles. By default, Standard is the main option, but switching to private browsing causes the browser to use the Strict profile which offers more protection. Most new Firefox installations use Google out of the box, although that search engine isn’t overly concerned with privacy. With the in-development changes, users could use Google as their primary search engine and have something privacy-oriented like DuckDuckGo or Startpage (Ixquick) as their private browsing search option.
