This means you cannot host a mail server and make it deliver email over Tor, similar how you cannot host a mail server at home, because all the end-user IP addresses are listed by Spamhau as well. (This is different from having your mail client (e.g. Thunderbird) connect to your mail server over Tor, these connections usually are _not_ blocked.) > How is Spamhaus actually used?

No. web/HTTP(S) traffic is filtered by other companies. Most notoriously Cloudflare. But there are others as well. What makes them worse, is, that they usually don't just provide blocklists, but do man-in-the-middle the whole HTTP(S) traffic.

[tor-talk] Tor and Spamhaus.
I was looking at exit nodes on http://www.ip-score.com/ which checks dozens of blacklists. Typically, each exit node is considered bad by about five blacklists. I've checked about 15 exit nodes and all are blacklisted by xbl.spamhaus.org and, by extension, zen.spamhaus.org (zen is a compendium of all Spamhaus' blacklists; if an IP is in one then it's in zen). Virtually all are in cbl.abuseat.org which is the Composite Blacklist which is a part of Spamhaus. Yet most blacklisting services do not consider exit nodes to be dubious. This situation would not be an issue except for the popularity of Spamhaus. Question: why does Spamhaus in particular target exit nodes? Does this have an effect on Tor users? How is Spamhaus actually used? For example, if I go to Craigslist and can't use the website and get "This IP has been automatically blocked" or when I login to Gmail I am forced to verify myself, is this related to Spamhaus' blacklisting? -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

You could just backup your profile directory which is tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default and contains all the things you mention. That said, your issues are probably somehow caused by changes in that directory, although I am not sure how. Thus, backing up that profile and reimporting it in a new Tor Browser might not help much.

Yes, this is bug 19890 and it should be fixed on Mozilla's side right
now (I tested it a while ago): having a clean Tor Browser you won't get
that warning anymore. To quote from the blog post update:
"""
Update (August 11, 10:04 UTC): Starting from a couple of hours ago Tor
Browser users might see a notification box in their browser claiming
that Firefox is too old providing a button to get a newer one. This is
both due to a server-side code change on Mozilla's side and an oversight
by us during the ESR45 transition. Clicking on the "Get Firefox" button
is save and leads the user to our Tor Browser download page. Needless to
say, this whole behavior is highly confusing and we are apologizing for
it. We are working on a fix as past as possible and hope to get Mozilla
to exempt Tor Browser users from this feature while we are working on a
new release. For technical details see our bug tracker.
"""
We plan to release a new Tor Browser version shortly to address the
issue from our side. As a workaround one can either install a new Tor
Browser 6.0.3 version from our website or set
`extensions.systemAddon.update.url` to `""` which should get rid of the
out-of-date-extension the next time an extension update check gets
performed. Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience.

Ugh. There should be no need to redownload 6.0.3 again. Although you'd
need to reinstall the languague pack you'd used at least. So, all in all
it might be the easiest to use a fresh 6.0.3, alas. I am sorry about that.

Georg,
It did but it also took away all my extensions :( . I didn't backup
the extensions.bootstrappedAddon
Any idea what to do now other than downloading 6.0.3 and doing
everything from scratch :(

Yes, sorry, this was not a solution for immediate remedy. It should have
solved the problem during the next ping for extension updates. Depending
on when the last ping happened this can take up to 24 hours.
