Comment (by cypherpunks):
Just wanted to write from a user's perspective, the only addon I used with
Tor Browser was DownThemAll as it made downloading multiple files much
easier. At the moment I'm trying "Simple mass downloader" since
DownThemAll isn't compatible with the new Firefox.
Can Tor try to proactively fix anonymity or security related issues from
addons that are most likely to be installed on Tor Browser? It may require
some research to figure that out. My guess is download managers/helpers
and adblockers would be among the most popular.
From my experience, Simple mass downloader seems to record file links in
the browser history and they are not removed with new identity or browser
restarts.
