if you are having problems with SIGNAL NEWNYM having no effect it may
be firefox browser settings that are keeping a cached tcp session to
the target host (and/or proxy).

verify that the following are disabled in "about:config"
network.http.keep-alive = FALSE
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy = 0
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server = 0

pipelining is OK.  it does not matter if the following are on or off:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining

it is suggested that these be enabled for better performance.

best regards,
