How to browse common mode and anonymously with a window on Firefox

By default on web browsers, when a user is browsing in the normal browsing mode, it is necessary to open a new window to access other browsing modes. For example, if you are visiting the website in normal mode, you must open a new window to open incognito mode and vice versa. However, all operations will be shortened by the Private Tab utility on Firefox.

This utility will enable users to both use normal browsing mode and incognito mode on the same browser window. You will not need to open a new window like before. In addition, the Private Tab utility will also switch between normal and anonymous browsing modes on a quick tab, without turning off and opening a new window.
