Sorry for being offtopic but
Sorry for being offtopic but I've been wondering, would it be bad, when it comes to browser fingerprint, to set "network.prefetch-next" to false in about:config?
Wouldn't it release significant bandwith to the network if done in aggregate?
I believe some bandwidth
I believe some bandwidth would be spared, but I always set it to false to improve privacy because of my experience with standard Firefox.
I don't use bookmarks but keep my links in my own "Start Page" / "Home Page" ("browser.startup.homepage") in a HTML file on local storage.
When starting first Wireshark then standard Firefox, I can see in the Wireshark logs that Firefox issues DNS reqests on all links in my HTML file. This is what happens in the background when surfing in order to speed up the user experience. The same type of burst of DNS reqests would be seen whenever a new page is loaded; Firefox speculates that it needs to resolve ALL links into IP numbers. This could be very bad for your privacy, depending on what page you stumbled upon. Your ISP would even see DNS reqests to sites you may never visit. In my case my ISP would see all the same DNS requests each time I start standard Firefox. This constitutes a trafficpattern that makes is easy to identify individuals. Therefore I always change "network.prefetch-next" to false, even if it slows down my surfing experience when I select a link on my "Start Page". (Although, when I surf without Tor the ISP always knows what IP I'm using, which is acceptable for me in some cases, but you may have other needs.)
When it comes to TorBrowser it's different. If the configuration isn't messed up (by yourself for instance), all these extraneous DNS requests would be handled by the Tor network. The privacy risk is reduced (as far as I understand).
But I still don't like this. I prefer to make as little noise on the net as possible, especially since "padding" with garbage to foil traffic analysis is ruled out in the Tor design document.
I would be in favour of having "network.prefetch-next" set to false in the default configuration of TorBrowser. This would reduce DNS requests on the Tor network, and I also believe it would improve privacy.
Please feel free to improve my understanding if you have a deeper insight into this subject, and share it with other Tor users.

The prefetch function seems extremely wasteful of bandwidth to me.

It was skipped for some reason.
I just installed the latest
I just installed the latest Tor Bundle (2.2.39-3) on top of the latest WINE package, which I installed in Puppy Linux 528 (Lucid Puppy), and generally speaking most of my PortableApps that I use in WINE in Puppy do work, and in many cases better than the native Linux Puppy PETs. The TB is used as a PortableApp, and in the past I had no real problem with it, but when I installed the latest TBB (2.2.39-3), which I am using at this moment, and I go to drugs.com to look up drug interactions, etc. it crashed twice. It crashed (closed down completely) when I clicked on a video (knowing that it would not work, but wanting to see the reaction), and the second time while I was just reading, and downloading pages for later. The second time, it happened when I was just reading some information on a page on drugs.com,
Can you give me a reasonable explanation for what happened. I've been using Tor Bundles for a number of years, and this was the strangest things that has happened to me.
One more thing. On a separate subject, but while I'm thinking of it, have you ever used JonDo, and checked out how much less is picked up by web sites using their FF browser. When I used the Anonymity Test with the TB, a number of items were revealed that weren't revealed when using the JonDo Browser. JonDo's web site recommends Tor (using their FF browser), and offers it as an option, but also says that theirs (the JD network on Tor) is much more secure. JD free is slow, but the paid version, which is not too expensive, is much faster though the pay part for the States (finding an outlet that sells the coupons to pay anonymously online) is hard to find. I'm sorry to add this question, but I didn't know how else to get it in.
Also, any comment on Whois?
Thank you in advance.

Dear Tor developers,
Same list of bridges works with former 2.2.39-1 but not 2.2.39-3.
I've tried them one by one for several times on my Windows 7 in china.
Hope it's just network connection problems.
Thanks for the great work on Tor!
Just started using Tor
Just started using Tor Browser Bundles for Windows (10.0.7esr). It's great except that it doesn't remember my cookies exception settings. They're completely cleared/deleted when restarting. How do I prevent that? I can't seem to find anything that could fix the problem.

I am having a problem with the latest release. This appears to be specific to blogspot.com web sites. As soon as I click (left, right, shift, control-click) anyplace on a blog page, Firefox (the FF-ESR version running by Vidalia-TOR) totally crashes and disappears. All of the open FF-ESR windows and tabs disappear and Vidalia automatically shuts down. Many other websites still work properly: google, yahoo, etc.
I can hover over links and see their URLs in the bottom of the window; click and crash. Left-click, right-click, ... doesn't matter. I can hover over blank "background" and as soon as I click on it -- poof! -- the browser disappears.
I always download and use the latest version. I recently updated to 2.2.39-3. Previous versions were fine.
Thank you.
Are you connected to the Tor
Are you connected to the Tor network... NO! Tor is a scam set up by gov't cheese eaters to snare those involved in highly illegal activity concerning cyberspace. If you're using Tor, you've set yourself up to fail. The fact that Tor is touted as such to be used for legitimate business is laughable, lol, as anyone who's used Tor can tell you the system is SO SLOW and SO INCONSISTENT that its virtually impossible to depend upon it for any legitimate business purposes. Think about it.
ANY NEFARIOUS SITE YOU VISIT IS BEING OPERATED AND MAINTAINED BY A GOV'T AGENCY... YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!
I posted a comment a few
I posted a comment a few days ago but it didn't show up, maybe you are busy, but here is an update:
Tor Browser Bundle (2.2.39-3) for Windows keeps crashing, the 1st run worked for a couple of hours before it closed, next time it worked for about 20 minutes before it disappeared on me again as if someone had just closed it.
I gave up on it in the end as it just crashes to much, often within minutes of opening it, I have gone back to using version 2.2.39-1 as I have not noticed any problems with it.
Running on Win XP, or was.
No other Add-ons were installed apart from those that came preinstalled.
The only changes that I made were setting bookmark backups to 0 via about:config / browser.bookmarks.max_backups
setting "browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab" value to FALSE to display the close button on the last tab
disabling Tor updates during tor usage via the Tor button and setting Firefox Add-ons to manual update.
I'd be glad to get a browser
I'd be glad to get a browser that just need the latest security updates being downloaded and NOT the complete bundle once a bug have been fixed.
