On Chrome browser, you can select which extensions are active in private mode (incognito). How to do the same in Firefox please? (By default Firefox allows all add-ons in Private mode).

Firefox doesn't have that as a native feature; the enabled/disabled status of add-ons is unchanged in private mode (although all add-ons are required to comply with the private mode rules regarding data retention). But there's a workaround to accomplish what you want.



You can have more than one profile, and each profile is independent as far as what add-ons are installed or enabled.




  • Create a new profile, including just the add-ons you want in private mode. If you're in Firefox, enter about:profiles in the URL window, and that has an option to create a new one.


  • Create a shortcut to launch Firefox in private mode using that profile. The command line would look like:



    firefox -private -P "new_profile_name"

  • Thank you. Some follow-ups: 1. I looked into this profile option but it seems like it will have it's own bookmarks too. Any way to access the same bookmarks 2. This profile option seems the same as downloading a separate portable Firefox and configuirng that with no add-on. Is that correct?

Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

Image
0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
