Tor Browser Bundle for Mac OS X released

[MacLemon]

Hello!

Thanks for providing a Browser Bundle for Mac OS X!

Extension Security is not enabled by default in the Bundle. I suggest it beeing turned on by default.


I would like to suggest for discussion to include the following Firefox extensions:


SSL Blacklist:
Checks for SSL Certificates with weak keys and MD5 signed certificates.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/160110/
IIRC this is DNS based which is likely to be very slow due to high DNS latency with tor.


Flashblock:
Only loads Flash content after user interaction, or from whitelist.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433/
(I am aware that Torbutton should deactivate all Plug-Ins including Flash.)


Certificate Patrol:
Alerts the user when sites present a new/unknown SSL certificate.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6415/


Best regards
MacLemon
