What Data Is Not Stored While in Private Browsing Mode?
Firefox stores quite a bit of information on your computer during a browsing session. With Private Browsing mode active, a lot of this data is either never saved locally or automatically erased when you close a private tab or window. This can be useful when accessing the internet on a shared computer. The following data is not left behind at the end of a Firefox Private Browsing session:
