 By default, TBB uses private browsing mode. Cookies and other state (e.g.
 cache) are retained until the browser is restarted. There is neither an
 option to view the cookies nor to clear the history.

 If the browser is left running for a long time, a lot of history can be
 linked.

 TBB should offer an option to clear history in private browsing mode
 and/or clear all history associated with an URL bar domain when it is
 closed.
