New description:

 Whenever Torbutton is activated, the whole Firefox session is gripped
 under the tight reign of the Tor network. Some users may want use Tor on
 particular sites where their privacy is important, but continue browsing
 the other sites normally. Or simply because it is slower than normal
 connections, they might want to limit it to the particular sites or
 connections where anonymity is prioritized.

 I propose an option which allows the user to activate Torbutton only in
 tabs or windows they want access using the Tor network. Simply by
 directing the connection of the Torbutton activated tabs to the Tor
 software, the user can enjoy normal connection beside it.
