I received the update on Firefox... but it looks like the extension is not working with Private Mode (latest version of Firefox).

I already had some trouble to make the extension works the first time I installed it. Any suggestion?

It is interesting that it even works considering that we actively block toolbox from starting in private mode. We do this as firefox is missing an API[1] and without it there is no way for toolbox to tell where requests come from as the background page is shared. Leading to all sorts of privacy related issues.
