This is called "New Incognito Window" in chrome/chromium, or a separate profile in Firefox. What would be really nice, though, is the ability to have a bookmark open in an incognito window. The separate profile in Firefox is better because it'll keep cookies between sessions so you don't need to keep logging into facebook.

I also use this:

  #!/bin/sh
  
  test -n "$CHROMIUM_COMMAND" || CHROMIUM_COMMAND=`which chromium-browser`
  test -n "$CLEAN_CHROMIUM_TMPDIR" || CLEAN_CHROMIUM_TMPDIR="/tmp"
  USER_DATA_DIR=`mktemp -d "$CLEAN_CHROMIUM_TMPDIR/clean-chromium.XXXXXXXX"`
  
  case "$1" in
      cleanup)
          (cd "$CLEAN_CHROMIUM_TMPDIR" && find . -name "clean-chromium.*" -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0 -r rm -rv    )
          ;;
      *)
          chmod 700 "$USER_DATA_DIR"
          echo "CLEAN_CHROMIUM_TMPDIR = $CLEAN_CHROMIUM_TMPDIR"
          echo "USER_DATA_DIR = $USER_DATA_DIR"
          echo "CHROMIUM_COMMAND = $CHROMIUM_COMMAND"
          echo "Running '$CHROMIUM_COMMAND' --user-data-dir='$USER_DATA_DIR' $@"
          "$CHROMIUM_COMMAND" --user-data-dir="$USER_DATA_DIR" $@
          find "$USER_DATA_DIR" -type d -print0 | xargs -0 -r chmod 700
          find "$USER_DATA_DIR" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -r chmod 600
          ;;
  esac

"Tools" -> "Start Private Browsing" in Firefox

control-shift-P works as well (probably command on a mac but I don't have one)

But really chromium/chrome has the best implementation as it creates a new window and doesn't destroy your session.

In Firefox, the session isn't destroyed, instead it is saved until you choose "Tools" -> "Stop Private Browsing". But, the chromium implementation might be more convenient.
