Details

NSS caches intermediates it has seen in the past, even in private browsing mode. Similar to any caching carried out in private browsing mode, this can leak information about the site(s) that a user visited in private browsing mode.
PSM is the one that does the caching *to disk*. However, NSS does do some caching in *memory* in a few different places. OCSP, CRL issuer cache, and SSL cache come to mind, but there may be others.

Pretty sure this was fixed by bug 769288.
