Testing: TorBrowser-4.0-alpha-1-osx32_fr.dmg Platform: OS X 10.9.3 WebBrowsing works as expected - HTTP, HTTPS, .onion browsing works - HTML5 videos work - https://panopticlick.eff.org/ - unique among 491,159, 18.91 bits of identifying information DuckDuckGo is default search engine. obfs3 ok. fte ok I've manually killed `tor.real`, to see #11199 in action. Worked fine. Are Tor log messages suppossed to be displayed in the web console (Ctrl+Alt+K)? I haven't been able to get any showing up there (but they are visible through the usual copy/paste). -- Lunar <lunar@torproject.org>

Not on the web console (which is connected to one web page) but on the browser console (which is "global" to the entire browser). The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+J / Cmd+Shift+J. -- Mark Smith Pearl Crescent http://pearlcrescent.com/
