No. TBB disables disk cache completely. What's written to disk is
updated consensus and state files for Tor, temporary files for Vidalia
controller authentication, and any manual changes you make to the
modified firefox and torrc.

We have an open task to figure out what's changing inside the OS and to
confirm zero user content is written to disk at any time. See tickets
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6845 and
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6846
