Steps to reproduce:

  1. Similar to bug #1254094 select a long enought text (1+ MiB is still enough).
  2. Copy the text to the clipboard for example by pressing CTRL + C (eventually this step is only required on Windows).

Actual results:

For Windows 10 in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\mozilla-temp-files a file named mozilla-temp-* was created with double the size of the clipboard cache and the contents of the clipboard cache.

Expected results:

Since (permanent) private browsing mode was enabled probably no clipboard cache files should have been created at all.

Isn't this a duplicate of bug 1396224?
