It's a miscommunication/misalignment of expectations. Private windows have privacy (more than non-private windows, at least), but they do not have privacy or isolation from each other. Unless you use add-ons, the isolation boundary is the profile. You need multiple profiles to keep them from sharing with each other.
The main problem then, IMO, is that it is not well-supported for a user to use template profiles or automation to manage or create multiple profiles with common settings. Copying profile directories to a separate user account (on platforms that allow that kind of thing) is the closest strong approach I can think of.

Why can't I tick a box that says "isolate private windows" ?
- jrootabega 4y agoI would like that option as well. The closest Mozilla will officially let you get is multi-account containers. But it's just not a bug, and I think it should be clear that it will never be a feature.
