I use the latest stable version of TB 1.2.5 and pluging QuickJava 0.4.2.1.
When I tried the test on https://panopticlick.eff.org, I have had the
next results:
1. If J and JS disabled both:
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US;
rv:1.9.2.3)   			Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

HTTP_ACCEPT Headers
text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
windows-1251,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 gzip,deflate en-us,en;q=0.5
Browser Plugin Details	no javascript
Time Zone no javascript
Screen Size and Color Depth no javascript
System Fonts no javascript
Are Cookies Enabled?	No
Limited supercookie test no javascript
(In the realty I had enabled cookies).
2. If JS is enabled and J is disabled:
practically the same result except that it defined that cookies was enabled.
3. If J and JS enabled both I can see time zone, Screen Size and Color
Depth and others.

According with the above I have the next questions:
1. What is the bug in the TB which lets that test define that I use
Mozilla under Windows but not IE under Windows? Or the TB masqueradge
only the OS not the type of browser? (I thought that it masqueradge the
type of browser too, am I not right?).
2. It defined that by the browser characteristic "HTTP_ACCEPT
Headers" those are only one in about 7000 browsers have that value. Why?
What could mean the above value of that characterisrics?
