I should have made it explicit that this started as a copy of the
Firefox profile. I tried to kept them relatively in sync.

Honestly, I never understood the need for this complicated name.

That would be great. I will try with TB ASAP.

Good point, should also be replicated in FF's profile.

Really no clue. Again it was copied verbatim from FF's profile.

FF's profile doesn't have it and maybe never had. I think I wanted the
failed thumbnails to not be used because they could be "poisoned". I'll
drop it for the sake of uniformity with FF.

IIRC, TB uses /tmp/encfile first then if it exists it uses encfile-x and
keep incrementing x.

I'll "audit" this.

Thanks for the review!
