When I press Private icon.the page changes but I do not see the "private icon" on the screen. Why is this and am I actually on a new private tab?

That is because you are in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • browser.privatebrowsing.autostart: True

In that case all windows are Private Browsing mode windows/tabs by default and you won't see the purple PB mode icon.

You can use an extension to get Private Browsing mode support per tab.
