I am on version Version 61.0.1 and I've searched your KB for a solution, but have not been able to resolve this issue. I select 'New Private Window' but the purple mask does not display. I just want to be able to tell when I'm in private browsing mode.

Attached is a screenshot of a tab opened in private browsing mode.

Thank you.

Hi caseyj66,

Possibly you're in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History). See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1158685.

Does that help?

Best regards, BelFox
