@wicket You are absolutely correct
1 It was a vulnerability in Firefox
2 It is (was) not platform specific
3 Yes, Windows was the target in the specific case
4 but unpatched Linux was indeed vulnerable
5 Tor did indeed patch
6 Users didnt (all) upgrade, leaving them vulnerable

About the DNS, is there some reason why you haven't simply routed DNS requests through the tor proxy as described here: http://superuser.com/questions/10359...oxy-in-firefox I just tried it and it seems to work.
Despite the comments about vulnerabilities in tor-browser I would still like a dedicated tor browser on my Jolla. Long story short, for real security I use whonix and I certainly would't trust anything important to a hand-held device that holds my data unencrypted.

Also. I will try to update so the icon refreshes. That will take a lipstick refresh, which will have the effect that screen will blank for a few seconds. But that is bearable.
To create a full torbrowser is a bit more difficult. So, no promises ither than I will look into that.

UPDATE
I have updated versions of tor and tor-switch to handle DNS queries (You can lookup .onion adresses).
Also, the icon is now changed as supposed (restarts lipstick service, so screen goes blank and a green light for a few seconds)
Enjoy

Could I make another feature request?
Rather than overwriting the pref.js file, could the tor-switch script leave unchanged all settings other than the ones that it needs to modify? Shouldn't be too hard using scripting tools grep/awk/sed, or even as a starting point, it could save the file when starting tor and restore it when stopping tor.

Thanks, a good, and sensible suggestion

I like Linux too but it would by naive to think that you are safe just because you use Linux.
DebiaN900 - Native Debian on the N900.Deprecated in favour of Maemo Leste.Maemo Leste for N950 and N9 (currently broken).
Devuan for N950 and N9.
Mobile devices with mainline Linux support - Help needed with documentation.
