When I select "New Private Window", there is no indicator confirming that I am actually browsing in private mode, nor is it possible for me to know which of the tabs is private. This is a major cock-up on the part of the developers and ought to be fixed with immediate effect.

hi cinimodvii, in case you've set firefox to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in the options > privacy panel), then no indicator on windows will be shown anymore, since they are all private...
