Comment:

 Please read the comments closely. This requires Torbutton 1.4.6pre2 to get
 the update to New Identity to clear the PNG vector. There's a copy of the
 Torbutton that fixes it in the attachment in #5710. You need both the
 Torbutton update *and* the TBB patch for this to be fixed.

 I verified *again*, and with the Torbutton 1.4.6pre2 xpi in #5710, it is
 in fact fixed.

 Please reopen if not, and specify your platform.
