I missed the fact that the login history was tied to the history write
setting because when I was poking around trying to make it work how I
wanted, I simply unchecked the box and looked to see if the login
history had turned back on without actually toggling tor again. Having
it tied to the history seems logical to me, so I'm actually fine with
that the way it is. A nice, multi-line tooltip would probably have
eliminated my problem altogether :). Maybe some of the more obscure and
specialized caveats that folks are having such wanting to control the
cache manually could be addressed in about:config options without
actually appearing as a nob in the options panel, that way one could
change it if they *really* want to. I'm not sure how you could make a
stern warning (ie: crucial) if the option could put them in serious
jeopardy that way, though.
