Comment (by acat):

 It seems [https://searchfox.org/mozilla-
 central/rev/55a4faa52f72918efa51150d127aebdc057dc6cf/browser/modules/Sanitizer.jsm#534
 Sanitizer.jsm] handles this by doing a first pass to check if all
 windows/tabs are "fine" with being closed, and abort if not. We could do
 that for "New Identity", or just try to ignore `onbeforeunload` when
 closing windows.
