 > What exactly is needed in TBB?

 I think nothing, TBB is going to use #6009.

 This ticket was supposed to be solely a report for debs/rpms. Sorry if I
 reported it against the wrong component. I don't know which is the correct
 one.

 #2905 said, people's lives are at risk for connecting to the public Tor
 network in some areas. It was a ticket about Vidalia (TBB). Since Vidalia
 will soon be abandoned in favor of the tor-launcher addon, the problem
 remains unsolved for deb/rpm users.

 If TBB users lives are at risk for connecting to the public Tor network in
 some areas, the say may true for deb/rpm users. Hence, this ticket was
 reported by me.
