Are you logged in in a private window? I use the setting "Always use private browsing mode" in FF52, so all of my windows are in private mode, but whenever I open a new (private) window, I'm still logged in. I suspect you'd get the same behaviour with the default settings, and opening two new private windows.

FF53 on Ubuntu, stock settings.

And yes, you're right if I log in on either one of two private windows then the other one is also logged in. That's actually a bug in FF afaic.
