Hi Courrtenay, which method are you using?

  • Tabs List - there are separate lists for regular and private tabs, and you tap the mask to switch between the lists. Once you're on the private list, you can use the + to open a new private tab.
  • Long press link menu - to open a link in a private tab, long press the link until a menu appears, then choose to open it in a private tab.

Those are from this article: Private Browsing in Firefox for iOS.

Does that not match up with what you see?
