Comment (by mikeperry):

 Well, if any URL contains something sensitive, because of the lazy-loading
 introduced in the session restore in FF24, that tab can be closed and new
 identity could be run again.

 But gk might be right, still. It's rather crazy to expect anyone to
 actually do that. I'm going to leave this ticket open as an idea to mull
 over, but I don't think we should rush into implementing this.
