Comment (by jake):

 I came to the conclusion that there had been a flip in the privacy policy
 by observing the fact that whenever I started TorBrowserBundle-3.5.2 and
 looked at the privacy tab in the preferences dialog, it says:

   TorBrowser will: Remember History

 However, when I do the same thing with TorBrowserBundle-3.5.3, it says:

   TorBrowser will: Never Remember History

 instead. From what you say, perhaps that was a bug in 3.5.2.

 As for no longer accepting cookies, that is not an assumption but another
 observation. Specifically, when I visit a site that I know uses cookies
 (such as google) in TorBrowserBundle-3.5.2, and click on the Tor button
 and select the cookie protections menu item, it would present me with a
 dialog box that showed me the current list of cookies and there would be
 cookies displayed there. However, when I do the same thing in
 TorBrowserBundle-3.5.3, the cookie protections dialog box appears with the
 part that displays the current list of cookies is always empty.

 In addition to that, whenever I try to log into a website that uses
 cookies
 for logging in (e.g. ebay), it doesn't work. It just returns me to the
 preceding page with the "sign in" links still present (which aren't there
 when the user is signed in). That was the dead giveaway that made me look
 at the cookie protections dialog in the first place.

 Anyway, I'm happy that it works for you.
 Now, any idea why it's not working for me?

 By the way, the behaviour I'm seeing occurs on two separate macosx-10.6.8
 laptops.
