Comment(by mikeperry):

 If we want to create an option to apply the same-origin policy to
 window.name, that should be another ticket. I would like to use this
 ticket to only apply to window.name being persistent across tor toggle,
 which is a more serious problem, and a violation of Torbutton's security
 requirements:
