Comment (by cypherpunks):

 >The fix for #10419 was Tor specific.

 Tor specific is to block all localhost, RFC1918, and other non-routable
 addresses in first place, so Tor didn't warn user.

 >This is not a development priority for us
 #10419 not even fixes what it was should be fixed for all Tor specific
 cases. Proxying localhost can't fix fingerprint if used Tor specific
 transparent proxying.

 I can't get why you can't get this vuln. No even fix in result, just
 security hole in general Torbrowser implementation.
