 Somehow we missed that... sorry.  We are working on a new patch.  Firefox
 now has two image caches (regular and private browsing).  Unfortunately,
 there does not seem to be a way to clear the contents of the private
 browsing image cache unless you have access to a document that is part of
 a private browsing session.
