Comment (by cypherpunks): {{{ // remote-install allows any website to activate a provider, with extended UI // notifying user of installation. we can later pref off remote install if // necessary. This does not affect whitelisted and directory installs. }}} but {{{ // Bug 898706 we do not enable social in private sessions since frameworker // would be shared between private and non-private windows }}} until it has been redesigned after esr45 > When I removed the frameWorker a while back, I removed all code preventing social running in a private window, but aparently missed this one. FrameWorker was the sole reason for avoiding private windows since it could cross between the two. So basically, you could use social (share) in private windows, but you couldn't add a social provider. There's no reason for that limitation. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13612#comment:3> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
