So for any browser without torbutton the list of things to do while using tor 
is:

Turn off:
Javascript (browser)
Java (browser)
Plugins (browser)
Cookies (browser)
Referer Headers (privacy proxy)
Caching (browser)
History reads/writes (browser)

Do:
Spoof user-agent (is this necessary even with javascript disabled?) (browser)
Spoof http-headers as though a US english browser (browser/privacy proxy?)

Do not:
Use tabs (enforced/recommended by controller?)
Keep the browser open when finished 'using tor' (enforced/recommended by 
controller?)

Anything to add/remove/clarify?
