 icon in the upper-right corner, too. There's limited space in the chrome
 on most Android phones, so I don't think adding another image like that is
 best option, either.

 Interesting, that's not what I see. I don't see any sign of private
 browsing mode on desktop at all. If I open my normal Firefox ESR and do
 open a new private window with, say, Ctrl+Shift+P then I get the result
 you describe but not in my browser. Interestingly, if I open the menubar
 and go to File then the "New Private Window" option has the Ctrl+N
 shortcut which is traditionally only for opening normal Windows.
