[Affected versions]:
- Nightly 63.0a1
- Beta 62.0b20
- Firefox 61.0

[Affected platforms]:
- Windows 10 x64
- macOS 10.13
- Ubuntu 16.04 x64

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Open a Private window.
2. Open "Firefox Home Page" by using Ctrl + click on the icon.
3. Observe the new opened window. 

[Expected result]:
- The new opened windows is still private.

[Actual result]:
- Just a regular window is opened. 

[Regression range]:
- I don't think  this is a regression. I can reproduce this behaviour even on Nightly from 2013-12-03.

[Additional notes]:
- The mind set when you are doing these steps is to open to home page in a private window. 
- I've notice that this behaviour is not reproduced on Chrome.

What causes you to believe that the new page is not private?

The first indicative that I noticed was that the symbol for Private Window (white mask in a purple circle in the upper right corner of the browser) does not appear on this window. Then I did some tests. 

Then I used a clean profile and I navigated to some sites in that window. When I checked the history, every site I visited was listed and that doesn't happen if you are in a Private Window. 

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask me.

What steps are you following on mac? When I hold the Command button and click the home icon in Firefox's toolbar, I have a new tab open in the current window.

If you hold the Shift key then a new window will open.
