 I have been doing much testing with Ubuntu 8.04, FF 3.0.3, and Torbutton
 1.2.0.
 I went to test the close tor tabs on toggle feature, in order to write out
 a report for seeing two dialog boxes, directly
 after each another, warning me that I am about to close one tab....

 But, nothing closed. So, I checked my Prefs, and MANY were toggled to
 various positions that I did not put them at.
 I had disabled/enable Torbutton several times and thought maybe they reset
 to default after enabling; however, they were
 not at the default settings. In fact, several "crucial" settings were
 turned off completely.

 This happened for an unknown reason, and I cannot figure out how ANYTHING
 would have changed them.

 Does Torbutton backup settings? Can I look somewhere for a history/log of
 Torbutton changes?
 Are there any known problems that would cause this?

 My settings, which I have had activated forever, are listed on
 http://bugs.noreply.org/flyspray/index.php?do=details&id=834
