This allows us to fix a bug where when our current Private Browsing shortcuts are pinned to the Start Menu, they use the regular Firefox Visual Elements (which is the non-Private Browsing logo). I tried to make this as minimal and braindead as possible. Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D151538

Private Browsing Proxy
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
On Windows, Firefox ships with a small binary that always launches
|
|
``firefox.exe`` in Private Browsing mode (``private_browsing.exe``). Its sole
|
|
purpose for existing is to allow Private Browsing shortcuts to have their own
|
|
Visual Elements. This is most notably seen when pinning a Private Browsing
|
|
shortcut to the Start Menu -- Visual Elements are used for the icon there
|
|
rather than the shortcut's icon.
|
|
|
|
In addition to always passing ``-private-window``, ``private_browsing.exe``
|
|
will forward any other command line arguments given to it to ``firefox.exe``.
|
|
It will also forward shortcut information from the Windows ``STARTUPINFOW``
|
|
structure to ensure that Firefox knows how it was started.
