Comment (by viktorj):

 I have set "browser.chrome.favicons" to "false" because otherwise it
 seemed to me that Thunderbird fetches the favicons of my feeds directly
 after start because they are not stored on disk. This could be an
 anonymity risk if two different RSS feeds don't use two independent Tor
 circuits because all the icons are fetched at the same time.

 Can you reproduce this or is this a problem which only occurs in my case?
