Comment:

 If I enable browser history storage via Torbutton's Privacy and Security
 Settings window, about:permission does show the site. However, there is no
 canvas-specific UI in about:permissions. Clicking the "Forget About This
 Site" button does clear the canvas setting. Adding a new section to
 about:permissions would make this process more friendly.
