Comment (by isis):
Hmm. I tested on two machines, both of which were able to reproduce this
issue, and both of which had:
|| '''Preference Name''' || '''Value''' ||
|| extensions.torbutton.block_disk || false ||
|| extensions.torbutton.saved.disk_cache || true ||
Then I tested on a third machine with:
|| '''Preference Name''' || '''Value''' ||
|| extensions.torbutton.block_disk || true ||
|| extensions.torbutton.saved.disk_cache || true ||
So it seems like, perhaps, if TorButton's `block_disk` patches are
disabled, then FF writes the `nsIPermissionsManager` preferences to disk,
and TorButton isn't able to clear them from disk, even when calling
`nsIPermissionsManager.removeAll()`. Perhaps
`nsIPermissionsManager.removeAll()` is broken?
