How does private browsing exactly work?

Lily4

I know how to open and use private browsing using my FireFox, but I want to know how it really works. Does it temporary save my browsing data in a specific place in my hard disc then delete every thing after I close my private window, or does it keep all the browsing data in the RAM?

All data is kept in memory and not stored in the Firefox profile folder. When you open a New Private Window the all data from the current session is stored in the Firefox profile folder and new data is created for the private browsing session. When you end the PB mode session by closing all PB mode windows then the data is flushed and data from the regular session is reloaded.
