The command "firefox --private-window" launches the Firefox web browser in private browsing mode.

Private browsing is a feature that allows you to access the internet without the browser storing your browsing history, cookies, cached files, or any other data that may reveal your online activities. This mode is useful for maintaining privacy, as it prevents the browser from remembering the websites you visit or saving any login information.

By executing the command "firefox --private-window", you instruct Firefox to open a new window in private browsing mode, ensuring that your browsing session remains private and secure.
