Comment (by torbacchi):

 Fixing this would really improve TBB usability: often the network may
 become unreachable for some time (lost connection to the local wi-fi, or
 the ISP uplink goes down for a while), but when it comes up again, TBB is
 having lots of trouble connecting to any site: sometimes it takes 2-3
 extra minutes, but most of the times I have to restart it (losing my
 session) :(

 BTW, maybe #1136 is related too.
