Firefox shouldn't store any data on disk while in PB mode and history and cookies from a PB session shouldn't reappear if you leave PB mode or close and restart Firefox.

During a PB mode session cookies behave just like in normal mode, but all cookies are session cookies and expire at the end of that PB session.

No Sir, it is not correct. Even after I close the PB session, the history and the cookies reappear when I restart the computer and restart the firefox.

That can only be the cookies from the normal session that were saved automatically before entering PB mode and not new cookies. The same for the history. If that isn't happening then you may not be in PB mode (Safe Mode). Cookies and history from before the PB mode session are not removed and will be restored from disk.
