 HPKP pinning (where an HTTP header can list a key to pin) may enable third
 party tracking if an adversary creates multiple certificates for many
 domains.

 HPKP is already memory-only. In normal Firefox, it is saved to disk in the
 same location as HSTS is.

 We should isolate HPKP to the url bar domain, and verify that it and HSTS
 are cleared on New Identity (I believe they are).
