you make the ff-torbutton?
it is not seczure, as cookiees tr= ac you and referal pages as well and so on, if you switch off the tor butto= n

is there any solution for this ? is xerbank-browser not better?

Hello,

I am the FoxyProxy Firefox extension author.

At https://torbutton.torproject.or= g/dev/, Scott Squires & Mike Perry write:

FoxyProxy
"= ;[...] So far the author has expressed no interest in implementing [proxy-p= er-tab] ability."

This statement is patently false. I have repeatedly gone on record = as saying "proxy-per-tab" is a
goal of FoxyProxy. I've mad= e this at irc.mozilla.org (#extdev a= nd various other channels), the
FoxyProxy forums (http= ://z9.invisionfree.com/foxyproxy), and even show it as a goal for versi= on
2.8 at the FoxyProxy proxy road map at http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/roadmap.html.

I would have added thi= s feature a very long time ago if I knew *how* to do it. Unfortunately, it&= #39;s
unlikely to happen even for 2.8 (as shown in the road map) because= I'm no closer to getting it to
work than I was a year ago... even after much research.

If you h= ave any pointers on how to achieve proxy-per-tab, I'd be grateful to he= ar them. I've asked
in mozilla.dev.extensions, mozilla.dev.tech.netw= ork , IRC, as well as some prominent Firefox and
SeaMonkey developers (Chris= tian Biesinger, Benjamin Smedberg, Philip Chee, Michael Vincent Van
Rant= wijk, etc.) Christian Biesinger and Michael Vincent Van Rantwijk had some i= deas which
eventually panned out.

One of the problems with FoxyProxy as it = relates to Tor have been documented here for a very long
time (linked pr= ominently from the front FoxyProxy web page):
http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/faq.html#privacy-01

Note that FoxyPr= oxy has a broader audience than people wishing pure anonymity and so this p= roblem
is not an issue for all FoxyProxy users.

At the least, I&#= 39;d appreciate if Scott and Mike change the torbutton webpage. Moreover, I= welcome
you to contribute to FoxyProxy and/or help me solve the proxy-per-tab d= ifficulties.

Best regards,
Eric Jung
