Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

Note that you won't be able to clear the browsing cache when you run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History). In PB mode all data is kept in memory and is purged automatically when you close all PB mode windows.
