On opening the menu box 'stop private browsing' is displayed but unresponsive. I am not private browsing but might want to. How do I correct this?

Up to yesterday, Private Browsing was a live option on the opening menu. Today, it reads 'stop private browsing' and has a mask/flag next to it; and is unresponsive. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, but it is still the same. What now?
