I am not seeing a purple mask when I open a private window. How can I fix this?
I've followed all the suggested fixes. Adding '-private' to the target line in properties prompted this message: Problem with Shortcut The name "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe-private" specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct. Open to other reasonable suggestions. Thanks

You need to leave a space before a command line switch like -private and place the switch outside the path that is enclosed between quotes.
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private
But if you start Firefox that way in a Private Browsing mode session then you won't see the purple mask. You only get a purple mask and the about:privatebrowsing page in a new window when you start Firefox in normal mode and open a New Private Window to distinguish a PB mode window from a normal window.
