[tor-bugs] #16384 [EFF-HTTPS Everywhere]: SSL Observatory Preferences show inaccurate options within TBB
#16384: SSL Observatory Preferences show inaccurate options within TBB
----------------------------------+----------------------

Component: EFF-HTTPS Everywhere | Version:

Within the TBB, when "Use the Observatory" is selected (not the default)
the Observatory preferences look as the attachment shows:
Within TBB 4.5:
Greyed out: "Check certificates using Tor for anonymity"
Checked: "Check certificates even if Tor is not available"
This seems inaccurate. Peter points out this may be a relic from when
HTTPS Everywhere looked for Tor on 9050. The new Tor SOCKS port within
the browser is 9051.
This is not causing any leak, however: the wireshark filter "host
observatory.eff.org" shows no packets coming through, while the same
filter shows packets within Firefox. The TBB may be transparently
proxying these certificate reports.
