comment 0 here sounds like this was a meta bug, but we have meta bug 1460738, so closing this one.

Sorry for the spam. Changed my mind as we have two buckets of bugs. The first related to the incognito feature itself, and the other being bugs in various tests/apis related to private browsing mode. We'll use this bug as the meta for the feature. The parent meta bug 1460738 will list all bugs related to "improving incognito support"

I'm testing the incognito experience in Beta 67 with my add-ons and I've noticed one issue - Options page of each add-on will load broken (because of the javascript restrictions in API) - I would suggest to remove the "Options" button for add-ons that are not allowed in Private Brosing mode. I don't think there are add-ons that uses pure html Options page :)

Also, I've noticed that add-ons installed from Private Browsing mode are not implicitly allowed in Private mode, maybe that's expected?

Can you add a new bug with steps to reproduce? cc me on it.

That is expected.

Best to not use our tracking bug for conversation. If there's an issue just add a bug, we'll triage it.

Thanks!
