Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I think there's something far more serious under the hood: I was uploading
 some files to some onion services using the Tor Browser, they (the
 uploads) timed out, so I refreshed each one and the upload was going
 again. I then closed the tabs where the upload was happening and I noticed
 that the upload speed in the Gnome System Monitor was at its max--meaning
 that the upload was still happening! When I clicked on New Identity, I saw
 yet again that the upload was still going!! (I had the Gnome System
 Monitor open while looking at the upload speed) It's only when I closed
 the Tor Browser that the upload speed returned to its idle value. So it's
 seems it's not just JS whitelists that get inherited.
