It used to be that when I'd set browser.privatebrowsing.enable-new-indicator to false, that there would not be the text Private browsing next to the private browsing icon on the tab bar. But now, even though I have confirmed that the setting is still on false, the text is back, just where I don't want it.

What is going on, and what step can I take to change it back?

I ain't really getting what you're saying to do, put that where? Keep it basic for me, if possible.

I had to find more instructions elsewhere to understand how to do what you meant, but that was basically the solution, plus a few more steps, so I'll mark it as solved.
