Comment (by brade):

 From what Mark and I can tell, emitting "last-pb-context-exited" seems
 like a good solution.

 We did notice one side effect:  the system clipboard is cleared if data
 was copied to it while in private browsing mode (see
 http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 esr24/source/widget/xpwidgets/nsClipboardPrivacyHandler.cpp#72 ).  This is
 a Firefox feature and it makes sense but surprised us during our testing.

 We also noticed when testing with the stevesouders.com site, that a "store
 data for offline use?" prompt is displayed but clicking "allow" does not
 dismiss the prompt (Error Console shows an error).  We will open a new bug
 about this.
