 Replying to [ticket:3018 zak]:

 > Hi guys this is zak, i am testing the new alpha version of Firefox 4 Tor
 Browser Bundle for Windows and i think that there might be a problem with
 the new torbutton 1.3.2-alpha , it seems that the browser does not have
 the torbutton header signature. I have actually  found a way to make it
 right but it's very chaotic and it does not solve the problem in a proper
 way. Let me know if you need more details. BY

 What do you mean by "torbutton header signature"? If you are referring to
 user-agent and/or 'referrers' see below (tested via
 http://browserspy.dk/headers.php). The only difference I see is an extra
 space in http_accept_encoding between "gzip," and "deflate" in !TorButton
 1.3.2-alpha vs !TorButton 1.2.5. Granted, !TorButton 1.3.2-alpha has
 'smart' referrer spoofing and !TorButton 1.2.5 does not; that issue can be
 resolved by adding the Firefox Add-on "Refcontrol" to Tor Browser Bundle
 v1.3.23 and configuring Refcontrol to 'forge'.

 !TorButton v1.2.5 (testing Tor Browser Bundle v1.3.23):
