 A Reddit user wrote
 [https://pay.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/1u174m/psa_tor_leaks_links_to_terminal/
 this post] saying TBB is leaking information about the sites a user is
 trying to visit (i.e. unresolved domains) to the terminal.

 Below are steps to reproduce, according to the post. I have not tested
 this myself.

  1. Visit an invalid domain, such as asdfghjklkjhgfdsasfgjhk.com or a
 .onion URL.

  2. Click "Try Again".

  3. Change the tab and change back.

 The following messages appears in the terminal:
 {{{
 (about:neterror?e=connectionFailure&u=http%3A//www.asdfghjklkjhgfdsasfgjhk.com/&c=UTF-8&d=Firefox%20can%27t%20establish%20a%20connection%20to%20the%20server%20at%20www.asdfghjklkjhgfdsasfgjhk.com.)
 Could not check applicable rules for
