Comment (by bugzilla):

 Clear All History / Site Preferences clears SiteSecurityServiceState.txt
 So, why tbb-newnym was added?
 > And it is not cleared after closing the session, sigh.
 Because FF clears it after exiting PBM, but in TBB it is permanent.
 > Keywords tbb-disk-leak added
 No leak, file is in profile folder as any other preference.
