I noticed the Download icon does not work for private windows on the latest Firefox Update version 57.0. When I open non-private icon, the download icon is working.

For private window, the download icon is set to auto-hide. So, it appears at the time of active download and disappears after completion. To make it appear always in private window : Select customize from menu, then you will find download icon at the specified place. Click on it and un-tick the auto-hide option which pops up.
