Replying to [comment:9 cypherpunks]:
> Would it be possible to reuse the warning prompt that Firefox already
provides when you attempt to quit when a download is in progress?
I think the text used for that prompt is too focused on "Quit" or "Exit".
Firefox already has several variations of the text (quit, offline, leave
private browsing mode), so adding another one seems like the best
approach. Existing text may be found here:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-esr45/source/toolkit/locales/en-
US/chrome/mozapps/downloads/downloads.properties#25
The real work is to patch the Firefox code here to handle the New Identity
case or to implement a similar prompt in Torbutton:
