Using --private isn't enough to prevent generating dot files, i.e, files whose names start by a dot (.) in home directory, it needs --noprofile with --private e.g, for Firefox browser.

mkdiranymore as no profile is used. If you use--private --profile=left-profile, you will see other dotfiles than with--private --profile=right-profile.
