Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > or you mean that thumbnail collection is on by default but setting
 "Never remember history" overrides that?
 It's about private browsing mode probably. You disabled to store browsing
 history, but private browsing mode was disabled too by custom settings.

 > Anyway, even in that case saving thumbnails to disk should not hoard
 file descriptors.
 Right. Only question where this bug from, TBB's patches or vanilla Firefox
 ESR itself, or something else.
