This branch has two updated files for consideration, prefs.js and install.rdf.

The current preferaces do not account for the Geo Location or Geo Enabled by default in about:config this means that if you where to use Firefox or Fennec to bounce out of a Tor Node your browser would be singing about it's true Geo Location.

Two lines fixed the derp!

Added fix for Geographical Location & Enable bundle in Firefox in under about:config

NP NE-Time.. I considered the option of adding a button to the GUI to flick it on and off but then figured it would probably be better to include it without one, leaving it so the user has to disable the addon to re-enable the Geo Location tracking in the browser by delving into about:config or the settings but just having a way so it only disables the GEO when the proxy addon is in use would probably be handy. 👍

Especially if its for all those guys in Tibet.. Just caught your Google I/O slide about Encrypt Everything 👍 Also on a side note I see you used ObscuraCam on your profile pic, but kind of neglected to use it on all those people at JJ's wedding! LoL

Couple of addon's still missing for Fennec (Mobile Firefox) that I would love to see like SSHTunnel, Key Manager (x.509 self-signed certs), Modify Headers and Geolocator (lets you spoof your location) and GnuPG Keys for encrypted Google Mail. We can but wait in anticipation or try compiling them ourselves for ARM. ;)

Kind of missing them and the NoScript addon has finally made it, it can be found as NSA++ at https://noscript/nsa/

Have a awesome day!

I use it on my pic just for fun. I am a pretty public figure.

As for J&J's wedding, well that was a public event in a public place, and none of those people are at risk of being thrown into chinese prison. Hope you enjoyed the photos! :)

Well to be truthful I just took a quick glance and thought "oh-ho!" but it reminds me of the old saying by Zimmerman "If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy." in truth the only thing I miss from Modify Headers isnt the user agent string (the addon phoney takes care of that!), its the x-forwarded for string. Download a copy for the desktop and check it out on the speedtest website, after you visit Shodan to find a computer IP in another country, it makes you laugh when you select a Pyongyang (North Korea) IP range and tell it to use that for X-Forwarded For and suddenly have the speedtest website saying "How do you rate your ISP?" ;) (complete with a geographical map displaying the wrong location after you disable Geo Enabled!) Google's stance on privacy invasive app's leaves a bit to be desired, I love the way I click the link in my GMAIL app to visit this post and have another addon called "Self Destructing Cookies" informing me that the tracking cookie from Google.com has just self destructed, even though I have explicitly set the Do Not Track option in the browser. Thank goodness that with a few modifications to the Stock ROM jumping on the nightly we can have a little more fun by faking the GPS Location in the developer options. I feel sorry for those Monk's if they're going to go out and Buy an Ubuntu based Phone or Tablet. Unity is filled with Online under the hood tracking features like Geoclue!
