Persistant private browsing mode not supported

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to Firefox > Options > Options > Privacy > Custom settings (or something 
similar)
2. Check the box in front of "Persistent private browsing mode" (or something 
similar, i'm using Dutch Firefox)
3. Click the OK button

What is the expected output?
HTTPS finder won't lookup websites automatically

What do you see instead?
HTTPS finder prompts if there is https available, allows you to save a rule and 
probably also saves a list of URI's tested, not sure about that last one.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using version 0.51 on Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

Are you saying that auto-forward to HTTPS does not work, but regular detection 
(manual forward)does?

I just moved and don't have internet on my PC yet so I'll look into this as 
soon as possible. Thanks for the report

What I mean is that when I'm in persistent private browsing mode, HTTPS Finder 
behaves as in the attached demo movie. However, when in normal private browsing 
mode (Ctrl+Shift+P), HTTPS Finder doesn't prompt for anything.

Interesting.. I haven't been able to reproduce this.

There's a new version of HTTPS Finder that was just approved by Mozilla 
yesterday (v0.69) - You can get it here: 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/https-finder/

Can you try an upgrade and let me know if you still have the problem? And if 
you do, what version of Firefox are you using?

Thank you

Updating the addon to v0.69 worked for me, now it works the same in "Private 
browsing" as normal. One minor issue tough, the extension says "Tabs will be 
saved" even if Fx is in private browsing mode (when tabs, of course, will not 
be safed after closing the browser).

Glad to hear it's working again. I will change the restart prompt text 
depending on whether or not the user is browsing in private mode. Thanks
