"firefox button" does not turn purple when I select "New Private Window" from the dropdown menu?
Does this mean I am NOT using private browsing?

Great question.
Your More System Details shows:
browser.privatebrowsing.autostart: True
That corresponding to a choice in the privacy options:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
Either:
- Firefox will: Never remember history
- Firefox will: Use custom settings for history + Always use private browsing mode is checked
Which would mean that all of your windows are set to be in Private mode. Why are all the buttons orange? I think that's a "stealth" feature, but actually I can't recall.
