There is no animation or a different color in the private window. It's not helpful. To be sure I have to click the new private window button again and again just to see the "private browsing" on the title of the tab.

Hey Again

Can you please check if you have all your windows in private browsing mode check Options => Privacy & Security under 'History' choose 'Use custom settings for history' and see if 'Always use private browsing mode' is checked.

P.S while using permanent private browsing mode, you won't see a purple mask or any other indication that a private window is open.

Hope this will be helpful for you

Can you attach a screenshot that shows the user interface (all toolbars)?
