Hi Logger49,

To open a new private tab on Firefox, first, tap on the three vertical dots menu icon in the top right of the browser. A menu should appear from there with the third option from the top being, New Private Tab. Go ahead and tap that and it will create and focus on a new private tab for you.

Another way to do this is to tap on the tab icon (should be a box with a number in it) in the top right. This will take you to an overview page of your tabs. Towards the top left, you should see a mask icon. Tap on this so that it turns purple, then tap the plus sign in the top right. This will create a new private browsing tab and automatically focus on it.

Let me know if you have any trouble with either of these methods!
