 Firefox private browsing mode currently prevents the user from setting
 various Torbutton options related to disk storage.

 Right now private browsing mode also provides no benefit over default
 Torbutton settings. Furthermore, it will be relatively easy to take any
 useful future private browsing mode features we need on a piecemeal basis
 for the medium term future.

 Long term, we've suggested to Mozilla that they provide private browsing
 mode options that are more compatible with how we want to do things
 (#3100). If/when this happens, we'll map our options to private browsing
 mode options.
