No, i mean NOT to play around with those since they are used by<br>
torbutton internaly. (eg, disable TOR, go to about:config, check them.<br>
Then enable TOR with torbutton go to about:config again (be sure to<br>
reload that page) and check them again. They should now be changed.<br>
disable tor again and they should go back to original.)<br>

I think the hidden wiki suggestion is correct. this will make FF not<br>
open any external apps at all. opening external apps can be dangerous<br>
since no one knows if those external apps use tor or not and they could<br>
do even more evil stuff.<br>

"true", with all subsettings also set to "true".<br>

Actually, doing some google search i found out those settings are<br>
bugged. <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440892" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440892</a><br>
Playing with them had no effect on my system which i dont like.<br>
If they WOULD work, i suggest to change them, since then you get at<br>
least a warning window before open external applications.<br>
If you set external apps handlers to false as suggested by the hidden<br>
wiki, those settings don't do anything.<br>
<br>
- From a reply to that bug it apears to me, that the torbutton people<br>
dealed with the problem in some way, but i didnt mind enough to dig<br>
deeper :-p<br>

</tt><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hi.<br>
What I noticed about my email after I had sent it, was the Torbutton, when toggled "on" or enabled, changed the settings in configurations, <br>
as per Tor and as per the instructions or suggestions I had found on the Hidden Wiki. Those suggestions match what the Tor developers<br>
recommend. I don't know about the bug part however do not really understand it.<br>
<br>
When you say:(</font></font><br>
<tt><tt>If you set external apps handlers to false as suggested by the hidden<br>
wiki, those settings don't do anything.</tt></tt><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">), does this mean according to their settings and how Tor'<br>
sets them up?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
