Comment (by mcs):
Kathy Brade and I did a little research on this bug. In Firefox 20 and
newer, a prompt that reads "You must restart Firefox to enable this
feature" is displayed when someone tries to toggle the
browser.privatebrowsing.autostart pref. via the Options window. It seems
like the Torbutton pref. UI should also prompt to restart. Existing
browser windows will need to be closed to switch to private browsing mode
anyway, and it is probably rare for users to toggle this pref. There is
more cost to a restart with TBB of course due to the need to reestablish a
Tor connection.
Should we add such a prompt (and associated restart logic)?
