 We've been accumulating a few TLS issues with Torbutton (#2482). In
 particular, we need to figure out how to handle user-stored certificates,
 the intermediate cert store, and STS. Perhaps we just want to block all of
 these by default for TorBrowser? Perhaps we want an extra confirmation
 dialog?

 STS and the intermediate cert store should definitely be cleared by the
 New Identity button, though (#523). We currently lack direct Firefox APIs
 for either of these. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435159
 might help with the latter.
