Comment:
hiberfil.sys is not your problem, but it is good to warn users that opened
TBB is copied to disk with all sensitive data (current session) when they
hibernate (but they must know it from OS manual).
> Is there any way we can programmatically clean up the pagefile on New
Identity and/or browser exit? What about OS X and Linux?
Direct disk access instead of OS ;)
Now seriously:
You MUST clean up memory after usage like memwipe in Tor does!
