 Hi,

 Sorry if this is a duplicate, I tried to give a look but didn't find
 anything.
 And sorry for the weird title, couldn't find anything better...

 I'm not sure exactly what happened, but here is, in order, what I did/saw:
 - open tor browser (under debian stretch)
 - open a few tabs
 - "new identity"
 - open some tabs
 - "new identity"
 - open some tabs
 - close tor browser
 - see a "new version available" window
 - click on something like "yeay, let's upgrade" (maybe the upgrade *was
 done* and only a "restart" was expected)
 - see tor browser starting and opening the tabs I had open some time ago
 (not the last "identity", but the first one)


 Voilà.
 I probably could give more details if needed.

 Oh, also, I cannot say *when* that "Upgrade available" window appeared, I
 only saw it when I closed Tor Browser.

 I think it's a privacy issue (the tabs are stored somewhere or whatever).

 Thanks
