While the cookie bits don't seem to be that great (lots more side effects compared to Dan Witte's policy), the SafeCache definitely seems useful. I should merge them both in and just disable the cookie bits via pref.Mike PerryMike Perryhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/3506Torbutton's window resizing eats scrollbars and taskbar2020-06-13T03:53:35ZMike PerryTorbutton's window resizing eats scrollbars and taskbarDue to the way the resize event is delivered, Torbutton ends up resizing the content window before the scrollbars and toolbars get updated from the user's resize.

This leads to all sorts of increasingly bad behavior. In fact, the behavior seems to just keep getting worse with each Firefox release.Mike PerryMike Perryhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/3454Cookie protections ignore disk settings2011-06-24T00:01:08ZMike PerryCookie protections ignore disk settingsThe Cookie protections dialog is writing cookie protection information to disk regardless of the cookie disk settings.The Cookie protections dialog is writing cookie protection information to disk regardless of the cookie disk settings.Mike PerryMike Perryhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/3446Support Firefox 5.0.2011-07-06T01:19:35ZMike PerrySupport Firefox 5.0.Torbutton 1.4.0 should claim to be Firefox 5.0, as it looks like that is what we'll be using in TBB 2.2.x.

They should instead be grouped by stream capacity. This is also equivalent to grouping them by the ratio of the consensus bandwidth to the descriptor bandwidth.
This would be implemented as a PathSupport.RatioPercentRestriction. We should then be able to easily switch from PercentileRestrictions to RatioPercentileRestrictions without too much issue.
This will result in faster scans and more accurate measurements.Mike PerryMike Perryhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/3441Enable Cookie Protection UI by default2011-06-30T00:58:44ZMike PerryEnable Cookie Protection UI by defaultWe should enable the Cookie Protection UI for 1.4.0.

http://blog.mozilla.com/webdev/2009/05/01/geolocation-in-the-browser/
When I clicked on "Share location" it did not reveal my true locatiopn. However, when I refreshed the browser and tried again it *did* give up my exact location. I uninstalled and reinstalled just to make sure and tried again with the same results. If you try it once and then refresh the browser and try again it *does* reveal your true location.
Someone at Wilders Security Forum had posted a way to disable geolocation in Firefox. I typed in about:config in the address bar and toggled geo.enabled to false. This works. However, I am concerned that geolocation is now the biggest threat anonymity, and for people in China and Iran this could be a nightmare.
I disabled geolocation in Firefox because (A). It is a known feature in Firefox (but that doesn't mean that a hidden geolocation feature cannot be added)....and (B). Someone showed me how to disable it. I'm a tech dummy. I would not have known had someone not shown me.
But I think this is just the beginning of a new threat. But anyway I think maybe that it would be a good idea to disable geolocation by default in the Tor Browser Bundle, and also recommend that people who use the Vidalia Bundle do the same in their Firefox. Thanks, Chuck
