 hello tbb-team,

 concerns tor browser bundle 6.0.6 and 6.0.5 ( maybe others too )

 if you change setting in: preferences / privacy / Tor Browser will: [---]
 tbb says that browser needs to be restarted. When cancelling that then
 "Tor Browser will: [---]" changes back accordingly ( as in cancelled
 indeed ) but the cookie setting for third party changes ( or stays changed
 ) to "always" after the cancel.
 ( do not know if that has real effect or just a GUI hickup )

 related remark: when selected "accept cookies"  no cookies are shown at
 "show cookies" button. Maybe none are accepted due to private browsing but
 than one would expect that cookie setting indicates so by means of
 clearing its tick box. For users to see the current situation instead of
 (maybe) having to think in overrides would be more intuitive.

 thanks for your attention,
 wyom123
