Private Window not opening

When I click on "New private window," an ordinary Firefox window opens. I tried creating a totally separate icon on the task bar which should only open a private window, but it opens an ordinary window every time. This happens regardless of whether there is any other Firefox window open on my computer. Instead of the purple theme and the words "Private Browsing" in the header bar, there is an ordinary theme and no special identifier.
