 If your Firefox/Iceweasel is set to open the Home Page (or old tabs) at
 startup, it opens the Home Page as well when opening a new window.

 I think this is a privacy issue, since the Home Page could tell a lot
 about someone - depending on the Home Page. To prevent this from happening
 torbutton would only need to set browser.startup.page to value "0" while
 activated and restore the old value afterwards.
