We don't seem to reschedule another check other than when a new window is opened, unless I've missed it. I'd propose either:
- scheduling a recheck in a few seconds
- adding a call to `do_tor_check` from within `tor_check_ok`
- adding `do_tor_check` to tabopen events

```
Which clearly demonstrates the values are correct and the "SIGNAL NEWNYM" command works as it should and that Firefox ESR 17.0.9 with TorButton 1.5.2 fails here.
See changes, perhaps fixes, have been made to the related logic but the newer code is not yet in either the stable or development release and I could not easily test it. The related Vidalia code in src/chrome/content/torbutton.js looks ok. Thought it might be hex-encoding the password and tried that but it made no difference.

1) Bookmark 10 (randomly chosen) pages
2) They should show up in the "Recently Bookmarked" menu. There click on "Open All in Tabs"
3) Click on "New Identiy" after making sure that there are actual some connections under way.
4) With a high percentage there are favicon and/or ocsp cache entries left in the new session (this happened for me in 5 out of 7 cases)
Could be that these cache entries are due to ongoing network activity.

There does not appear to be any obvious about:config options to enable more prompting either. We may have to dig into the RequestPolicy source to see how they do this.
Redirect notification is important if we're going to try to keep 3rd party cookies disabled (or dual-keyed). If redirects are 100% transparent, there's little point in disabling 3rd party cookies.
NoScript has some options for notifying in the case of JS redirects. We'll probably want to enable those options in TBB, too.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/torbutton/-/issues/2739Clear Memory-Only Intermeditate Cert Store2022-03-16T22:39:49ZMike PerryClear Memory-Only Intermeditate Cert StoreThe Intermediate Certificate store is not cleared by nsIDOMCrypto::logout() or our old ssl hack.
