You may for the case in question, i.e. where you're only restarting Firefox work around a memory leak, not because you're finished doing the 'private browsing' thing. Personally, I'm more paranoid about browser security and tab isolation. I have the 'always use private browsing' mode set so, in theory, nothing should remain after I close Firefox. Then for the cases where I'm doing sensitive stuff (online banking, shopping, etc) I close Firefox, re-open it to do that one task, then close it again. -- Tixy
