does the private browsing mode in FF3.6 use the cache from normal mode?
While I'm in PB mode, does FF3.6 use the data from normal mode cache?
The purpose of asking this Q is: I'm a web developer. I want to visit a site freshly (without any data used from cache). But I don't want to clear all my cache/cookies etc from all the sites I've visited so far. So I wish if I can switch to PB mode and visit this one site which doesn't use any data from normal mode cache .

Firefox doesn't use the disk cache in Private Browsing mode, but does use the memory cache. See the about:cache page.
In Private Browsing cookies from normal mode are not available and a new set of (session) cookies will be created that will be removed if you exit Private Browsing mode.
You can see that in the cookies manager: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
