Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Bug still in Tor Browser 9.0.9.

 I used New Identity and afterwords scripts were running when I did not
 want them to. I could reproduce it every time.

 I would never have used New Identity instead of restarting the browser if
 I new about this bug. This bug is almost 2 years old! If it will not get
 fixed New Identity should be removed. New Identity is currently giving a
 false sense of security.

 The fact that we can get bugs like this seriously calls into question New
 Identity's implementation. Manually trying to clear state data instead of
 just restarting Firefox. Is it just to save a few seconds?
