I couldn't understand what you mean. Could you please post a screenshot?

TO POST A SCREENSHOT : Press and leave the home and power button simultaneously, you will hear the iPad taking a picture and the screen will flash.

If Safari looks like this, then Private Browsing is turned on:




To turn it off, tap the address/search bar, and tap "Private" on the keyboard.
If you're facing a different problem, please provide more information, and, as abababababab said, post a screenshot if possible.
