Comment (by mcs): Replying to [comment:9 cypherpunks]: > Would it be possible to reuse the warning prompt that Firefox already provides when you attempt to quit when a download is in progress? I think the text used for that prompt is too focused on "Quit" or "Exit". Firefox already has several variations of the text (quit, offline, leave private browsing mode), so adding another one seems like the best approach. Existing text may be found here: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-esr45/source/toolkit/locales/en- US/chrome/mozapps/downloads/downloads.properties#25 The real work is to patch the Firefox code here to handle the New Identity case or to implement a similar prompt in Torbutton: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla- esr45/source/toolkit/components/downloads/nsDownloadManager.cpp#2454 -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10426#comment:10> 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
