Hello

About, Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history.

Important: When Firefox is set to Always use private browsing mode or to Never remember history, you won't see a purple mask at the top of each window, even though you are in Private Browsing mode.

Ctrl-Shift-P works for me on FF v144.0.2. Does it work in Troubleshoot mode (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode/)?
