When I close a Private Window and then reopen a New Private Window, Firefox opens that last page I visited in Private Mode. What is the point of browsing in private if it acts just like regular mode and remembers the history?

Have you closed all private tabs and windows beforehand? If you have any open it'll retain the history until you close ALL of them.

I have actually closed down the program and restarted the computer and it still remembers it. I even see the pages I browse In Private in the regular History List.
