Comment:
Please, close this as INVALID, because new (and clear!) identity (session,
in fact) means no traces of the current session. It is impossible to
remove all encrypted (sometimes) traces from the current session to
transit this "washed" result to the new one.
Users must be warned when clicking "New Identity" that it is intended
behavior (to stop mailing you). A brief description might be added in a
dialog window, and a recommendation to Bookmark All Tabs (Ctrl-Shift-D) as
a solution, but with warning that users must inspect saved URLs thoroughly
because of the security risk.
To shoot in leg users can always use unsafe "save/restore session" add-
ons.
