Replying to [comment:12 mikeperry]:
> Not clearing history if you unselect "Don't record browsing history" is
not a bug. As long as we still clear all network-facing browser state,
storing history (and preserving it during New Identity) in this mode is
the desired behavior.
Ahh, that makes sense.
> However, see also #8400 for another, possibly related issue with private
browsing that may cause confusion while trying to test disk and history
record behavior.
Right, a restart is required after changing modes. And history from
before private browsing mode is enabled is retained (which is somewhat
confusing).
