Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:5 arthuredelstein]:
 > There was a concern that some users might disable PBM and then New
 Identity would fail to wipe indexedDB. Do we actually want to claim to
 protect users who turn off PBM? That seems possibly out of scope to me. If
 that's the case, it seems to me we can rely on indexedDB being disabled in
 PBM by Firefox's built-in mechanism and drop the #21308 patch?

 The point is that `New Identity` is not bound to PBM. In other words: we
 don't have a menu item saying "New Identity (if you are in Private
 Browsing Mode)" but rather "New Identity". It is supposed to (or I bet at
 least perceived as) give/giving you a New Identity no matter what. And I
 think that is good. Getting a clean slate should not depend on whether you
 are in PBM or are allowing disk records for some reason.
