Comment (by starlight):

 For some reason, even in the "green state", TorButton
 does not appear to allow any cookies whatsoever.
 So, for example, I can't establish a login session
 for eBay.

 I've grown frustrated with TorButton and have
 come up with an approach that works and seems
 safe enough:

 1) disable TorButton and TorLauncher

 2) configure history like this
    set "use custome setting for history"
    uncheck "always use private browsing mode"
    check all four indented boxes
    set "accept third party cookies to NEVER"
    be certain the last "clear history when TBB closes" is set

 So now if I exit FF and simultaneously tell the
 relay to establish a "new identity", that would
 seem to cover what TorButton does for the
 less technical.  The FF restart loop makes
 exiting/restarting the browser no more painful
 then what happens when TorButton "new identity'
 is invoked.

 Am I missing anything?
