It works more like Freecap but I've added the code directly to the Firefox socket code. > Additionally, if Firefox only talks to Tor, do you have a control port open? No, only the socks port 9060 (non-default) is open. > I assume I'd just find the matching files in Firefox 3.0.10 and clobber them with your files? That's right. > How does someone replicate your builds on torfox.org? Do you plan on publishing that too? Perhaps it would be useful to have a README.build with patching and building information? After you replace the files you can build Firefox normally. Other than those 3 source code files in the SVN I've only changed the branding stuff and startup options. I just search and replace the string "firefox" with "torfox" and I have some icons and graphics I've made. I have some parts I need to automate but I will definitely add a build section and the branding stuff for building from source. > It seems like you're not getting much more over the current Tor Browser Bundle. Additionally, do you take into account the non-Torbutton protection and usability improvements that we have added? I think it just appeals to a different style of usage. That's the reason I wanted to make it anyways. I've disabled Java, set it to auto delete private data on shutdown, etc. I'm looking for input as far as what kinds of protection needs to be added.

That sorta seems like a risky proposition, no? Do you integrate Torbutton or something like it in some way? Additionally, if Firefox only talks to Tor, do you have a control port open? Also, I looked at the svn tree you published and it appears to only have three files: http://torfox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/source/3.0.10/prnetdb.c http://torfox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/source/3.0.10/nssinit.c http://torfox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/source/3.0.10/w95sock.c I assume I'd just find the matching files in Firefox 3.0.10 and clobber them with your files? How does someone replicate your builds on torfox.org? Do you plan on publishing that too? Perhaps it would be useful to have a README.build with patching and building information? It seems like you're not getting much more over the current Tor Browser Bundle. Additionally, do you take into account the non-Torbutton protection and usability improvements that we have added?

Introducing Torfox 3.0.10
http://www.torfox.org/ Torfox is a mashup between Tor and Firefox. I’ve made changes to Firefox's source code, at the socket level, forcing all connections to be encapsulated with a Socks4 connection through "tor.exe". All DNS lookups are done with a piped call to "tor-resolve.exe" to prevent DNS leaks. There is no configuration needed for Tor. It's included in the installer. The browser will start and stop Tor automatically on a non-default port to prevent conflicts. I have uploaded the only changed source code files to http://torfox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/source/3.0.10/ and the rest can be downloaded from Mozilla and the Tor Project. Just overwrite the corresponding 3 files in the Firefox 3.0.10 source tree with the 3 files from the Torfox SVN. It won't compile on anything but Windows until I replace the Win32 code with platform independent versions. It's possible, in theory, since Mozilla already includes their own runtime library with PR_CreateProcess(), PR_GetHostByName(), etc. If there is enough interest from the community and volunteers willing to help code or test then I'm willing to add any requested features or changes. Otherwise, I might just leave it as is because it works perfectly for my personal use. I'm not even sure anyone will see the benefit of this over the current Tor browser bundle but personally, I like not having to worry about Tor and it is probably a little more friendly to beginners (though it would need a huge warning about HTTPS). Feel free to contact me here or at torfox@gmail.com with any questions or comments.
