Its sole +purpose for existing is to allow Private Browsing shortcuts to have their own +Visual Elements. This is most notably seen when pinning a Private Browsing +shortcut to the Start Menu -- Visual Elements are used for the icon there +rather than the shortcut's icon. + +In addition to always passing ``-private-window``, ``private_browsing.exe`` +will forward any other command line arguments given to it to ``firefox.exe``. +It will also forward shortcut information from the Windows ``STARTUPINFOW`` +structure to ensure that Firefox knows how it was started. |
