It sounds like you need to create a new profile and see if it has the same isues, or simply purge the firefox installed and install it again. -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B Website: https://torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
Firefox configurations
Hello. I'm trying this again. Not really sure if it showed up the first time. Haven't had a response on any of it. I was wondering if I listed a number of Firefox configuration changes Ihave made, would those much more qualified than I peruse them and letme know if they are sound (for better anonymity) or not (risk myanonymity)? I am using the Vidalia/Tor bundle for Mac OS 10.5.2, I guess on a Unix platform (ppc). There's a lot of them so maybe I could start with a few or break it into three groups. Let me paste some here and see what happens. network.protocol-handler.warn-external-defaulttrue Next 4 are the sub-settings for the above line: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto true network.protocol-handler.warn-external.news true network.protocol-handler.warn-external.nntp true network.protocol-handler.warn-external.snewstrue browser.safebrowsing.enabled false This feels to me as though it should be true. browser.sessionstore.privacy_level 2new FF is 1 what do these numbers mean or represent? extensions.blocklist.url delete value SHOULD I? network.hosts.pop_serverdeletevalue I tried this. Is it good? (value was mail) should I? Tha'ts all I'll post for today. Thanks ahead if any one can help steer me in the right direction and I can learn more.

This is about checking every URL your browser loads against a blacklist (phish,malware etc) stored on Mozilla/Google's server. Even if that check goes via Tor, do you want that information sent? If not, leave as disabled.

This is how Mozilla disabled the .Net extention when Microsoft didn't release a patch for the Firefox extention. I assume you are just correcting me on extensions.blocklist.url ? I was thinking of browser.safebrowsing.provider.0.lookupURL so I was wrong in that respect.
