[tor-bugs] #4769 [Torbutton]: browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl should be set to "false"
#4769: browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl should be set to "false"

Verified with TorButton v1.4.5.1 and TorBrowser v2.2.35-3 (Windows XP SP3)
The about:config setting "browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl" [1] is set to true
in TorBrowser, even after changing TorButton config to "Block disk and
memory cache access during Tor" [2] and toggling Tor status (via.
TorButton). Mozilla suggests that about:config setting to be "false" by
default [1].
I think this isn't such a big issue because TorButton does set both
"network.http.use-cache" [3] and "browser.cache.disk.enable" [4] to false,
which *should* mean "browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl" won't cache to disk,
but even Mozilla seems to suggest it's wise to set all three to "false".

[2] Note: Should the text not read: "... cache access during Tor use" vs.
"... cache access during Tor"?
