The global state is going away. If possible, the state should be queried on a docshell by docshell basis, or we might need to create a window-level PB status.

This will need a bit of thought - I don't use Windows, so I'm not entirely certain what the jumplists look like/act like. Jim, do you have any thoughts about how the current task of entering/exiting PB mode should change when the PB mode becomes per-window?

I think we should do away with the "enter pb mode" option completely, and add a new "Open new private browsing window" option below "Open new window".

Changes should be pretty minor - http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/modules/WindowsJumpLists.jsm#127 some new strings and we get rid of the hiding feature added by bug 601255. Is there a command line arg for "open a new private browsing window"? Currently this jl option uses '-private-toggle'.

I think this is sort of one of the last pieces that needs to go in, when we're ready to switch the UI. I think -private-toggle should go away completely, and -private should open a new window in PB mode.

The first thing that needs to be done here is to add a new command which opens a new private browsing window. In order to do that, we need to put the private-toggle command here <http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/nsBrowserContentHandler.js#514> behind a #ifndef MOZ_PER_WINDOW_PRIVATE_BROWSING guard, and in the #else block, implement a new command, -private-window. The implementation needs to set preventDefault to true and then use a call to openWindow similar to the one further below this function but with "private" added to the window features, and with the uri.spec parameter taken out. Once that works by testing firefox with -private-window on the command line, we need to modify WindowsJumpLists.jsm and put all of the stuff using the global PB mode service and the "private-browsing" notification behind #ifndef MOZ_PER_WINDOW_PRIVATE_BROWSING guards, and if that macro is defined, just add a single menu entry which adds a New Private Window command (which is the same name we have for the File menu entry.) In the interest of getting the new string to our localizers sooner, I'll attach a patch which adds the string so that we can land it sooner. The real patch here can use the strings I'm adding.

Comment on attachment 671010 [details] [diff] [review] String changes I'm not sure there's a good reason to pre-land strings at this point.

Stephen, can you please take a stab at the ui-review here? Thanks!

Can someone look at Bug 942938. Jumplist items are opening a new instance of firefox when using application.ini file to rebrand the application and they can't be disabled. This causes the users firefox profile to clobbered by the profile settings from our custom app.
