No change of appearance of the new window and no indication whether it is private or not!

Hello

About, Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-use-firefox-without-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.

To see, a trick to find out if you're use private window.
Type, about:cache, in the address bar.
Click on List Cache Entries, you'll find information privateBrowsingId.

Other indicator, to see, if you use private window.

1 - Go to Configuration Editor for Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox
2 - Enter a search term browser.privatebrowsing.resetPBM.enabled, value false (by defaut), you can try true.

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/)?
