Hello, I use Tor Browser for all web browsing as many of you probably do. A frequent problem is you will be logged in to various sites and then the connection will break. For instance, attempting to make any request gives "Firefox could not establish a connection to the server at ...". Changing identities will always rectify the problem, but doing so via the onion button causes all open windows and tabs to be closed, which means you have to log back in and then get back to whatever page you were on. This is especially troublesome if you were filling out a form or completing a multi-step process in a web application.
Is there a way to change identities or just circuits without closing everything and without using an external application? I understand the browser is closed and re-opened when you request a new identity to prevent your identity from being associated with your prior identity, but sometimes you do not need a new identity and just want to fix the connection. I do not think this a problem specific to me because it occurs on multiple devices on multiple networks.
