Comment (by intrigeri):
Replying to [comment:3 saint]:
> Users also don't necessarily know in advance that they will lose all
tabs (including any current work) when they click it.
Right, I've seen too many users be surprised that they just lost all their
tabs. Now, this ticket seemed to originally be about confirming to the
user ''after the fact'' that the New Identity operation was successful,
while what saint and I are talking about suggests the need for a blocking
confirmation asked to the user interactively ''before'' closing all tabs
etc.
Note that such a confirmation message before switching identities may be
needed for other reasons in the future: e.g. once Tor Browser is confined
with AppArmor or something else, and only has access to a specific shared
directory for downloading/uploading files, we may want to ask the user to
move their files out of that directory before we switch identities, in
order to avoid the content of that directory to be usable linkability
information between before and after switching identities. We're currently
discussing such ideas on the tails-ux@xxxxxxxx mailing list, FYI.
