Mike,
When you uncheck "Do not record browsing history (Private Mode), it should
give the control of the history back to the user.
For example, with a fresh install of tor-browser-2.4.11-alpha-1_en-US
1 Torbutton -> uncheck "Do not record browsing history
2 Options->Privacy->History -> Remember History
3 Options->General->When TorBrowser starts -> Show my Windows from last
time
4 Close TorBrowser
5 ReOpen TorBrowser
All of your windows are lost, and the settings that you changed in Options
are reverted back to "use custom". This functionality worked in TorButton
1.4.x but is broken in 1.5.x.
Maybe you need another check box in the TorButton, like "Enable user
control over privacy settings" to allow 1.4.x like customization.
Thanks for looking into this.
Note: sorry for the dupe. My post in #8457 belongs here
