Comment:

 It should not start with "New", 'cause it doesn't mean termination of the
 current session.
 FF users know "session" as FF session.
 It is a new Tor session by meaning. But TBB doesn't allow several sessions
 simultaneously, so everything must be destroyed to create a new one. But
 this is not obvious for users.

 Proposals:
 Clear all and restart
 Close all and restart
 Start from empty session
 Start from clear session
 '''Restart with new identity'''
 '''Restart as a new nym'''
