Comment(by rat):

 Note that enabling Torbutton by default has the unintended consequence of
 bringing a user's restored session into the secure context, which is then
 deleted when the user closes the browser. I just lost over 180 tabs this
 way, and am somewhat annoyed, to put it mildly. I suggest you consider the
 implications before committing such changes in future. The problem could
 have been avoided by simply adding a warning about this possibility to the
 dialog box that pops up when the user start 1.4.6 for the first time.
