I’ve noticed that lately when I try to click on a hyperlink or something like that my internet app will open but it just sits at the home page. Is anyone else dealing with this?

    The changelog says “Support private tabs for FireFox by @dankeast in https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/1216” but OP mentioned Chrome…

    Also it’s somewhat broken on Firefox. If you leave the tab open and go to the homescreen, the next time you open Firefox it will start in incognito mode which drove me nuts. Also some pages won’t load properly in Firefox in incognito mode (looking at you, imgur).

    While I like the idea, I don’t think it should have been enabled by default with an update, as I cannot remember setting this manually…

    In case someone else is searching for this setting, its “use private tabs”

      It didn’t enable by default in this update. But I think when it did get added it was with default enabled but that was a while ago. I can take look at changing this default.

      That issue with firefox is not one caused by Jerboa. So that would need to be reported with FireFox. The only change we did was add support for FireFox.

        Thanks for the clarification- that means it was probably active for a while, but didn’t work for me and I was only hit by it now, because now my browser is supported.

        It’s entirely possible, that I enabled that setting a while ago and forgot about it (or maybe accidentally) and never noticed that because of using Firefox.

        I know, that the behavior of Firefox is likely not caused by you. I’ll experiment around a bit and try to reproduce it reliably before filing a report there
