Button to open a Private Tab directly from the homescreen is missing
Since the last update, the button on the homescreen that opens up an empty Private tab is missing. I cannot find an option to re-add it.

The latest Firefox for Android update removed the dedicated **“Open private tab”** button from the home screen, and unfortunately there’s currently no setting to add it back. To open a private tab now, you need to tap the **tab switcher**, switch to **Private**, and then tap **+**. Mozilla may restore or redesign the shortcut in a future update, but for now it can’t be re-enabled manually.

That's dumb....
Try to go to Settings -> Private browsing -> Add private browsing shortcut
