Firefox Private cannot be opened since the start of 2024

more options

When I open Firefox and want to go to Private. I go to the three lines at the top right of the Firefox page. I go down to Private. Then after selecting it, YET ANOTHER REGULAR FIREFOX PAGE OPENS. I NEVER had this problem until the start of 2024.

Please help as I used to have FIREFOX PRIVATE as my go to browser. Now, I use others and they do not work with some pages.

Please help as it is frustrating to keep getting a new Regular page.

You aren't using permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) ?

All windows are private when in private browsing mode aka "Never Remember History". The purple mask icon is not displayed since there is no need to distinguish between different types of windows.
