Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Maybe you are in permanent Private Browsing mode. In permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) all windows and tabs are PB mode tabs and the purple mask is hidden.

You can use an extension to get Private Browsing mode support per tab.

Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underline You can toggle Private Browsing mode on/off via the right-click context menu of a tab
