 Are you saying that choosing 'Use custom settings for history' in the
 Privacy menu silently enables this setting?? I would find that strange but
 perhaps not unexpected since in some earlier bundle versions some of these
 settings did not work properly anyway (such as "When in location bar,
 suggest History" was using bookmarks too).

 Anyway, even in that case saving thumbnails to disk should not hoard file
 descriptors.
