I understand. Thanks for your help however it turns out. I have two more requests if they make sense. First how about going to about:blank when I choose a new identity. Now when I choose the new identity it goes to the Tails homepage. I wonder if that makes possible some type of tracking analysis. For example I am on a website have some tcp connections open and I choose new identity, then those connections immediately die (I assume) and then a connection to the Tails webpage is made from some other exit node. Maybe that is a way there could be a correlation tracking a Tails user over identities if an adversary had a lot of resources? If the browser went to about:blank instead then some arbitrary time would pass until the user puts in a new web address, but that would be enough to defeat the attack (if there is one... I'm speculating). And how about a forced delay? If Tails had it so Iceweasel randomly generated 0-30 seconds before the new identity was accessible, to prevent correlation. "To prevent against identity correlation your new identity will be ready after a delay of N seconds". Second I don't like that when I choose a new identity my clipboard is reset. If there is no good reason for that would you consider changing it? Thanks
