Bug Description
On Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS) the manpage for Firefox reports a date of 2011-02-09 (!)
The man page mentions the -private flag, which has been replaced by --private-window quite some time ago and to make matters worse, -private actually _breaks the private mode_ until firefox gets restarted.
firefox --help shows the new flags that are available.
The report on Mozilla's bugtracker has been dismissed, because the man page is apparently distro-provided. (https:/
A bug has also been filed for Fedora 26 (man page date 2001) here: https:/
