 Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Surely, the list of "newest 20 tickets" contains a lot of surprises!!!!!!!

 I also tested the TOR BROWSER BUNDLE for LINUX, and the geolocation and
 browser.cache.offline.enable are enabled!!!!!

 That's why i suggest everyone to use my !FactorBee!!!!!!!!! You can build
 it from the source very easily, and it has a lot of very useful scripts to
 improve the privacy of users!!!!!!!!!! It's a very safe Tor Browser Bundle
 for linux!!!!!
 It has a very safe and working configuration for FireFOX too!!!!!!!! The
 geolocation and the offline cache are well disabled!!!!!!!!!!!
 As phobos said, with TORBrowser Bundles: your mileage may vary!!!!!!!!

 I suggest to ask to Erinn to manage the software, because i don't know if
 mikeperry is appropriate!!!!!!!! A lot of time ago, after my advice, Erinn
 pushed the OpenSSL library into the package, as mikeperry forgot to
 include it in the Tor Browser Bundle!!!!!!!!
 When the official Tor Bundle improves, it actually just copies something
 from my Tor Browser Bundle!!!!!!!!! Like having Chris's patch applied &
 removing Polipo!!!!!!!!!!! Or even pushing the Firefox serie 3.6.* (the
 !TorProject did this so suddenly without any review of the software!!, but
 only becuase Mozilla decided to drop the security and stability updates
 for FF3.5.*!!!!!!) Anyway, they all were features !FactorBee had from
 ages!!!!!!!!!! So, from one day to another, it's easy to copy good ideas
 and having a working result!!!!!!! (well, it seems not even so much
 working after having read of the flaw reported here!!!!!!! lolol!!!!!!!)
 YEAH!!!!!!!!!! In the end, !FactorBee is the very best and it's the only
 Tor Browser Bundle (for linux!!!) safe for real!!!!!!!! It was also the
 first TorBB for linux ever made!!!!!! And i made
 it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

 The "ingredient" to have a good Tor Browser Bundle, is to make it with
 love!!!! And this is something that cannot be copied!!!!!!!!!!

 Everything else is, as per phobos, "simply pile together lots of software
 and assume it is all good"!!!!!!!!!

 bye!!!!!!!!!
 ~bee!!!!!
