Support persistent tor profile

[darkdh]

With this feature, user can generate many Tor profiles for different purposes in Profile Manager.
And also remove any of tor profiles so any data(history, cookies, bookmark...etc) within the profile will be wiped out.

This can supersede current Tor window feature because each Tor profile has its own incognito window.

Extensions enabled to work in Incognito mode should work on Tor profiles as well

As worded, I believe this still won’t support using bookmarks (or extensions) from the main profile. It would have to be a new profile, somehow synced or backed up differently.

[darkdh]

@petemill yes, completely isolated profile. If we want to inherit something from certain profile, that would be session window scope. @bridiver was working on that. I agree that setting up everything for each new profile is time consuming but tor profile shouldn't inherit anything from non tor profiles, we can let users to choose what tor profile to inherit from when generating new tor profile or they want a brand new one.

@darkdh Would this feature allow the user to Sync bookmarks (and other data, eventually) between a standard profile, and a Tor profile?

[darkdh]

like #1115 (comment) said. It will inherit data from the profile which opened the tor window. Just like one time session windows but for tor

[tildelowengrimm]

Just to be clear, this isn't the mainstream roadmapped feature for migrating Tor windows from Guest to regular Incognito sessions. This is an additional, separate feature request which is not currently planned for implementation.
