It will be fixed in 1.1.8. Thanks for reporting! In the meantime, the workaround is to go into the Torbutton preferences, go to the "Shutdown" tab, and click "Allow me to manage my own Private Data Settings." > 2- Some websites that use javascript do not work with Tor.

Is it possible for you to give me a list of websites torbutton breaks? or describe how it breaks then? It works for me and I have recieved no reports of breakage so far from others. > Will try to go back to an older version if it is still available > online :((((( Torbutton is a GREAT extension but WHY hell does the > author want to care of all together???

So people can either help me fix Torbutton so it is usable for them, or they can choose to remain vulnerable. You may want to read over http://torbutton.torproject.org/dev/ to see what sort of things you are vulnerable to without torbutton. If that documentation is unclear, again, please notify me. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
