 talk/2014-February/032049.html the user mentions the following steps to
 reproduce the problem:

 {{{
 I now tried a clean installation of TBB 3.5.1 win32

 I change the option from "Never remember history" to "Remember History".
 It requested a restart.
 Then I checked and it was "Use custom settings for history".
 I looked at the TorButton extension security tab settings and it had
 the first and third option UNchecked.
 I changed it to "Never remember history", it requested a restart again.
 I looked at the TorButton extension security tab settings and it had
 the third option UNchecked.
