 We have two cache isolation patches that we should try to get merged
 upstream, especially since one of them is a crazy large change to the
 image cache operation and is likely to generate conflicts in future
 releases.

 However, the patches need work before they can be merged. In addition to
 the pref, we'll want to make the normal cache isolation built-in, instead
 of relying on torbutton's stanford-safecache.js and associated observers.

 Someone will probably also need to write/updated tests. Bleh.

 Getting stuff like this polished and merged is a non-trivial amount of
 work. At a guess, I'd say around 3 to 4 days worth in total?
