Do Not Track only makes Firefox send a specific DNT=1 entry via the HTTP response header. Nothing more. It is up to the server to decide how to react upon such a request.

That DNT setting has no effect on any personal data stored in Firefox in contrary to Private Browsing mode where no data is stored on disk.
If you enable do-not-track then all data like cookies, history, cache is still stored on the computer.
