 It would be better to clearify that using the "New Identity" button is
 critical for staying anonymous and safe.
 Because now, there is no indication in the "warnings" section on the
 download page that it might not be a good idea to use the same TorBrowser
 session for different tasks, e.g. logging in an anonymous email account
 and directly after that posting a comment on a weblog.
 That behavior includes the risk of linkability which should be avoided.

 So, please extend the list of "warnings" so that pressing "New Identity"
 becomes routine.
