Private browsing will not work Firefox 9.0.1
I have permanently turned on private browsing in the tools menu but firefox still saves my history.

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

What leads you to think that your browsing history is being saved?
Because it is in the browsing history. Even after closing FireFox and restarting.

Here's some more info...
I can "manually" start private browsing for a session but as soon as I check "always use private browsing" in the tools-> privacy settings, it goes back to standard browsing and begins saving my history.
Anyone??

I don't know how but simply starting Firefox in safe mode fixed it. I didn't change anything... Go figure.
