Hi, I'm not sure which button you're referring to.

If you mean the mask icon that indicates a private browsing window, if you are not showing the top bar of the browser, then you won't see that icon.

so as to surf net and not be followed. it is sensitive surfing.

Maybe you mean something different. Firefox's private browsing mode prevents saving history to your computer, but it does not make you anonymous or invisible on the internet. That requires other tools.
