The Tor browser uses permanent private browsing but it's still susceptible to attacks such as page 14 of <http://www.dfrws.org/2015eu/proceedings/DFRWS-EU-2015-short-presentation-1.pdf>.
We can consider adding a no-pagefile mode where Firefox would not use the pagefile (and would be limited to the amount of available physical memory). I haven't yet done the research on how much OSes allow applications to do that.
Note that even with that, you could perform a similar attack through ReadProcessMemory and similar methods.
