command line option for a new private window
What command line option(s) should I use to open several URLs as tabs in a NEW private browsing window. So, if a private browsing window is already open, a new window should be opened.
I've checked https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options /quote -private-window URL Open URL in a new private browsing window. If a private browsing window is already open, a new tab is opened in the existing window. /unquote Why can one open new private windows pressing ctrl-shft-P, and apparently not in a command line ?

If you use -private-window without a URL, you get the usual private window home page in the tab. That's the section just before the one you quoted.
That said, I think you have to do each tab separately. Let's assume your firefox.exe is at this location:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
You could use this batch file (save as "test.bat" in plain text format) to launch a new private window, then add 3 tabs:
@echo off echo Opening a new private window "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window REM Firefox needs a moment before we send it tabs to open timeout 1 echo Opening three private tabs "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window "https://support.mozilla.org/" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window "https://addons.mozilla.org/" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window "https://developer.mozilla.org" echo Done! pause
