It adds a panel to the statusbar that says "Tor -Enabled" (in green) or "Tor Disabled" (in red). The user may click on the -panel to toggle the status. If the user (or some other extension) changes -the proxy settings, the change is automatically reflected in the -statusbar. +Torbutton comes pre-installed with Tor Browser and we urge you not to change it. +We do not recommend to install it to Firefox because this is not a sufficient +way to surf anonymously. -Some users may prefer a toolbar button instead of a statusbar panel. Such -a button is included, and one adds it to the toolbar by right-clicking on -the desired toolbar, selecting "Customize...", and then dragging the -Torbutton icon onto the toolbar. There is an option in the preferences to -hide the statusbar panel (Tools->Extensions, select Torbutton, and click -on Preferences). +Torbutton guarantees that DNS requests are sent through the Tor instance that +comes with Tor Browser. You should not change the proxy settings. -Newer Firefoxes have the ability to send DNS resolves through the socks -proxy, and Torbutton will make use of this feature if it is available in -your version of Firefox. +It’s strongly discouraged to install new Add-ons in Tor Browser, because they +can compromise both your privacy and your security. Plus, Tor Browser already +comes installed with two add-ons — HTTPS Everywhere and NoScript — which give +you a lot of added protection. - FAQ +You can read more about it here: +https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/ -1. I can't click on links or hit reload after I toggle Tor! Why? +Also have a look at this page for already answered questions: +https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/CommunityTeam/Support_discuss - Due to Firefox Bug 409737, pages can still open popups and perform - Javascript redirects and history access after Tor has been toggled. These - popups and redirects can be blocked, but unfortunately they are - indistinguishable from normal user interactions with the page (such as - clicking on links, opening them in new tabs/windows, or using the history - buttons), and so those are blocked as a side effect. Once that Firefox bug - is fixed, this degree of isolation will become optional (for people who do - not want to accidentally click on links and give away information via - referrers). A workaround is to right click on the link, and open it in a - new tab or window. The tab or window won't load automatically, but you can - hit enter in the URL bar, and it will begin loading. Hitting enter in the - URL bar will also reload the page without clicking the reload button. +For other issues you should know about have a look at this blog post: +https://blog.torproject.org/toggle-or-not-toggle-end-torbutton -2. My browser is in some weird state where nothing works right! - - Try to disable Tor by clicking on the button, and then open a new window. - If that doesn't fix the issue, go to the preferences page and hit 'Restore - Defaults'. This should reset the extension and Firefox to a known good - configuration. If you can manage to reproduce whatever issue gets your - Firefox wedged, please file details at the bug tracker. - -3. When I toggle Tor, my sites that use javascript stop working. Why? - - Javascript can do things like wait until you have disabled Tor before - trying to contact its source site, thus revealing your IP address. As - such, Torbutton must disable Javascript, Meta-Refresh tags, and certain - CSS behavior when Tor state changes from the state that was used to load a - given page. These features are re-enabled when Torbutton goes back into - the state that was used to load the page, but in some cases (particularly - with Javascript and CSS) it is sometimes not possible to fully recover - from the resulting errors, and the page is broken. Unfortunately, the only - thing you can do (and still remain safe from having your IP address leak) - is to reload the page when you toggle Tor, or just ensure you do all your - work in a page before switching tor state. - -4. When I use Tor, Firefox is no longer filling in logins/search boxes for - me. Why? - - Currently, this is tied to the "Block history writes during Tor" setting. - If you have enabled that setting, all formfill functionality (both saving - and reading) is disabled. If this bothers you, you can uncheck that - option, but both history and forms will be saved. To prevent history - disclosure attacks via Non-Tor usage, it is recommended you disable - Non-Tor history reads if you allow history writing during Tor. - -5. Which Firefox extensions should I avoid using? - - This is a tough one. There are thousands of Firefox extensions: making a - complete list of ones that are bad for anonymity is near impossible. - However, here are a few examples that should get you started as to what - sorts of behavior are dangerous. - - 1. StumbleUpon, et al These extensions will send all sorts of information - about the websites you visit to the stumbleupon servers, and correlate - this information with a unique identifier. This is obviously terrible - for your anonymity. More generally, any sort of extension that - requires registration, or even extensions that provide information - about websites you visit should be suspect. - 2. FoxyProxy While FoxyProxy is a nice idea in theory, in practice it is - impossible to configure securely for Tor usage without Torbutton. Like - all vanilla third party proxy plugins, the main risks are plugin - leakage and history disclosure, followed closely by cookie theft - by exit nodes and tracking by adservers (see the Torbutton - Adversary Model for more information). However, even with Torbutton - installed in tandem and always enabled, it is still very difficult - (though not impossible) to configure FoxyProxy securely. Since - FoxyProxy's 'Patterns' mode only applies to specific urls, and not to - an entire tab, setting FoxyProxy to only send specific sites through - Tor will still allow adservers to still learn your real IP. Worse, if - those sites use offsite logging services such as Google Analytics, you - may still end up in their logs with your real IP. Malicious exit nodes - can also cooperate with sites to inject images into pages that bypass - your filters. Setting FoxyProxy to only send certain URLs via Non-Tor - is much more viable, but be very careful with the filters you allow. - For example, something as simple as allowing *google* to go via - Non-Tor will still cause you to end up in all the logs of all websites - that use Google Analytics! See this question on the FoxyProxy FAQ - for more information. - 3. NoScript Torbutton currently mitigates all known anonymity issues with - Javascript. While it may be tempting to get better security by - disabling Javascript for certain sites, you are far better off with an - all-or-nothing approach. NoScript is exceedingly complicated, and has - many subtleties that can surprise even advanced users. For example, - addons.mozilla.org verifies extension integrity via Javascript over - https, but downloads them in the clear. Not adding it to your - whitelist effectively means you are pulling down unverified - extensions. Worse still, using NoScript can actually disable - protections that Torbutton itself provides via Javascript, yet still - allow malicious exit nodes to compromise your anonymity via the - default whitelist (which they can spoof to inject any script they - want). - -6. Which Firefox extensions do you recommend? - - 1. RefControl Mentioned above, this extension allows more - fine-grained referrer spoofing than Torbutton currently provides. It - should break less sites than Torbutton's referrer spoofing option. - 2. SafeCache If you use Tor excessively, and rarely disable it, you - probably want to install this extension to minimize the ability of - sites to store long term identifiers in your cache. This extension - applies same origin policy to the cache, so that elements are - retrieved from the cache only if they are fetched from a document in - the same origin domain as the cached element. - -7. Are there any other issues I should be concerned about? - - There is currently one known unfixed security issue with Torbutton: it is - possible to unmask the javascript hooks that wrap the Date object to - conceal your timezone in Firefox 2, and the timezone masking code does not - work at all on Firefox 3. We are working with the Firefox team to fix one - of Bug 399274 or Bug 419598 to address this. In the meantime, it - is possible to set the TZ environment variable to UTC to cause the browser - to use UTC as your timezone. Under Linux, you can add an export TZ=UTC to - the /usr/bin/firefox script, or edit your system bashrc to do the same. - Under Windows, you can set either a User or System Environment - Variable for TZ via My Computer's properties. In MacOS, the situation is - a lot more complicated, unfortunately. - - In addition, RSS readers such as Firefox Livemarks can perform periodic - fetches. Due to Firefox Bug 436250, there is no way to disable - Livemark fetches during Tor. This can be a problem if you have a lot of - custom Livemark urls that can give away information about your identity. +For a list of all torbutton announcements see +https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/torbutton [View Less]
