Re: [tor-talk] 'Refresh tor browser' - and then it wasn't one anymore.

[Ben Tasker <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is that the "Haven't seen you in a while" type message?

I've had a few problems with false positives triggering that in vanilla
firefox, to the extent I've now got a logout script that
removes ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/.parentlock (as the message is triggered based
on the mtime of that file). IMO that's probably un-needed functionality in
TBB
