Comment(by mikeperry):

 One of Dan Boneh's students just upgraded SafeCache to Firefox 4. He also
 implemented a headers-only version of the double-key cookie policy:
 http://crypto.stanford.edu/cs294s/projects/browser.html

 I am reviewing this to see if it is something we can just merge into 1.4.0
 and disable the cookie bits until we can give them a better UI.

 I think that the SafeCache isolation approach is better to just disabling
 the cache, though I'm also not clear exactly why any of the options you
 changed should be reducing total cached object size (unless you disabled
 iframe/frame loading in NoScript).
