Unable to remove "Private browsing" text in Firefox 119

Previously, you could remove the "Private browsing" text from the upper right corner of a private window (and just have the icon appear) by setting browser.privatebrowsing.enable-new-indicator to false in about:config. This setting seems to be have been broken in version 119. Can it be fixed?

This is ridiculous. Mozilla keeps making things worse even though they have no pressure to go down the same path of ensh**tification, they're doing it willingly. How incredibly frustrating.

I agree. It is too much stuff, too much stress and it is stealing too much of my time.
