How can I open a private window in Firefox with Alfred?

I have the powerpack but I still cant figure out how to do this.

I think this package is out of date as I couldn't install it and its from 2011: http://derekallard.com/blog/post/launching-your-browsers-in-private-mode-with-alfred

I was able to install this one but its for safari and its buggy. It works if safari is closed but not if its already open:

You could create a workflow that launches the following command suggested by user3439894:

open -a Firefox --args -private-window

Take a look at this Apple SE question:

A less clean way would be to create a separate workflow that launches Firefox, delays for a second, and then executes the private window hotkey (Shift+⌘+P (on macOS) or Shift+Ctrl+P (on Windows/Linux)).
