Comment (by acat):

 Just a suggestion, in case you find it useful.

 Perhaps you already know, I saw via `Customize...` this `Forget` UI
 (attached screenshot). It does something **apparently** similar to `New
 identity`, ends up closing all windows and opening a new one, but of
 course does much less stuff under the hoods than `New Identity`. I think
 this `Forget` makes less sense than `New identity` for most `Tor Browser`
 users, and was thinking whether it would make sense to recycle it and
 convert it into the new `New Identity` exposed in toolbar. I guess this
 would replace the current `New identity` prompt, since there is already
 some explanation (that we could extend) and a button to confirm.
