Comment (by bugzilla):

 > When you change your History setting to Never remember history, this is
 equivalent to always being in Private Browsing mode.
 from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-use-firefox-
 without-history
 and now `Always use private browsing mode` is checked (equal?), but it
 seems it's about windows only :(, i.e. there is no mode of browser, just
 of new windows (Private windows). So that anything not related to a window
 is not in `Private Browsing mode`, e.g. HTTPS-E bug #20195 request is also
 in a cache.
