Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:6 arthuredelstein]:
 > In Firefox 38, we're no longer allowed to call
 `nsICacheService.evictEntries(...);` from JavaScript. This breaks
 torbutton's "New Identity" function. Instead we're supposed to call
 `Services.cache2.clear()`.

 We should respond to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=962334
 while we are at it and review asyncEvictStorage() properly given that the
 new cache is working asynchronously (given comment 2 in the Mozilla bug
 mentioned above).
