The update to version 123.0 seems to have an issue. When I open a private browsing window, the bookmarks bar does not show. When I select always show, which is already selected ... it will show the bookmarks bar ... but if I go to a site or open a new tab it disappears again unless I select always show again, or hit ctrl shift b ... A fix would be great. Thanks so much

Found a fix. In about:config there is a toggle for bookmark toolbar to show in private browser. The update must have set it not to show. Change the false to true ...

browser.toolbars.bookmarks.showInPrivateBrowsing true
