Private browsing was introduced in Firefox in 2011 as a way to keep your browsing activity private. Firefox keeps a copy of all the pages you visit, but only stores the addresses of the websites.

This means that even if Firefox is forced to reveal your browsing history, the addresses of the websites you visited will not be revealed.

However, there is a slight risk that your browsing activity could be revealed if Firefox is forced to reveal your browsing history. If someone has access to your computer and the Firefox history, they could potentially see the addresses of the websites you visited in private browsing.

However, this is unlikely to happen as private browsing is not enabled by default and most people do not change the default setting.

So, private browsing does protect your browsing activity from being revealed, but there is a small risk that it could be revealed if the history is accessed by someone who has access to your computer.
