Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:10885 guranna2]:
 > --[2]--Documentation in design document
 (https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/) says "In
 addition, to reduce any unproxied activity by arbitrary plugins at load
 time, and to reduce the fingerprintability of the installed plugin list,
 we also patch the Firefox source code to prevent the load of any plugins
 except for Flash and Gnash."

 I opened #24945 for this bug, which I think still remains (either because
 Tor Browser has wrong behavior or because the docs are wrong).

 The rest of them I think are resolved at this point. In particular, the
 Torbutton security settings interface is improved a lot.

 I'm going to close this ticket in my quest to close #7008.
