How to set the browser to open in Private window/Incongnito mode in IntelliJ

Question

In IntelliJ, the targeted browser can be configured for web apps. Anyone knows how to configure to open the browser in private window - Firefox and Chrome ?

For Chrome you just need to open the Web Browsers section in Preferences and then edit the Chrome option. Set the Command line options to -incognito and Chrome should start in incognito mode.

For Firefox I expect you need to start it in private mode. This URL starts Firefox on my Mac but I can't get it to work in IntelliJ

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -private

Chrome incognito

Check if Allow in incognito is switched on for JetBrains IDE Support extension (chrome://extensions/)
open WebStorm preferences -> Tools -> Web browsers -> Chrome -> Edit -> Command line options: -incognito
Run Chrome incognito window manually
