Last Pass will not work in private window

I have the Last Pass add on on a full subscription. While the Last Pass program works in a normal Firefox window, if I open a Private Window the Last Pass icon is displayed, but the drop down menu will not open. If I return to the normal window the Last Pass drop down opens as usual. Windows 7 Pro and Firefox v 57.02. Please advise.

Any messages about this in the Browser Console?

Thanks for reply. I'm just a user, not a developer and see nothing obvious - ie specifically mentioning Last Pass, on opening the Browser Console in the ordinary window or the Private Window. Will live with it. The add-on has been useful, especially across different devices, but a shock doubling of sub with no real benefits has me looking at other password program solutions.

Thanks for the reply. It appears responders do not consider this a fault in Firefox (despite the problem only appearing after the last Firefox update). I have submitted a request for assistance on the Last Pass help system and await advice. Will post back if I get a successful reply.
