Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Or even simpler:
 {{{
 --- torbutton.js
 +++ torbutton.js.modified
 @@ -1430,6 +1430,7 @@

  // Bug 1506 P4: Needed for New Identity.
  function torbutton_new_identity() {
 +  document.getElementById("torbutton-new-identity").disabled = true;
    try {
      torbutton_do_new_identity();
    } catch(e) {
 }}}
 This should be the same.
 But why torbutton_new_identity called twice at all? without answer even
 this kludge can't guarantee such protection actually works for every case.
