You may for the case in question, i.e. where you're only restarting
Firefox work around a memory leak, not because you're finished doing
the 'private browsing' thing.
Personally, I'm more paranoid about browser security and tab isolation.
I have the 'always use private browsing' mode set so, in theory,
nothing should remain after I close Firefox. Then for the cases where
I'm doing sensitive stuff (online banking, shopping, etc) I close
Firefox, re-open it to do that one task, then close it again.
