Er, why should it be the default? One of the side effects of Private Browsing is to clean up traces afterwards. Note what is not saved when you turn it on: (from http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private%20Browsing)

What does Private Browsing not save?

Visited pages: No pages will be added to the list of sites in the History menu, the Library window's History list, or the Awesome Bar address list.

Form and Search Bar entries: Nothing you enter into text boxes on web pages or the Search bar will be saved for Form autocomplete.

Passwords: No new passwords will be saved.

Download List entries: No files you download will remain in the list in the Downloads window after you turn off Private Browsing.

Cookies: Cookies are file​s created ​by websites​ that​ store information ​on your​ computer​, such​ as your​ preferences ​when​ visiting​ a certain site​. These will​ not ​be stored. For more information on cookies, see Cookies.

Web cache files: No temporary Internet files or cached files from web pages will be saved until you turn off Private Browsing.
Is that really what you want as normal behavior? (It's certainly not what I want.)
