> My guess is if you wait 20 seconds, you won't experience the circuit re-
use. Am I right? That was the case for me on MacOS. (Note that 20 second
is our new reduced HTTP Keep-Alive timeout).
Yes, after about 20 seconds of idle time the connection is closed and a
new circuit is opened if there's a new connection.

I don't think this is the case here.

build (sadly not impossible)
Given a very similar pattern to #5416 (there used to be a problem -> it
was fixed with a patch at some point -> now regressed in 2.2.35-8 and
everything works fine in 2.3.12-alpha-1), I think something went awry in
the patching process. Whether it's caused by Firefox 11 or something in
your production process for Windows builds, I have no idea.
