Hi,
I had a look to some of the settings I previously mentionned.

(both should be set to true / false at the same time)
Display favicons in the address bar, bookmarks menu, and in tabs. (Default)
Load and display site icons. (Default)
I wonder what are the security / privacy implications of having these
enabled. Not downloading favicons seems to be a great way to appear
different from other visitors. We should ask the TBB authors about this.

To help users differentiate between images loaded in tabs, Firefox
sets the tab icon (and the icon in the Location Bar) to a small
version of the image.
If an image’s width or height is greater than this number, the default
icon is displayed instead of a thumbnail. The default value is 1024.
Setting it to 0 will disable image thumbnails.
I also wonder why they disabled this.

When to remove downloaded files' entries from the Download Manager
0: Upon successful download
1: When the browser exits
2 (default): Manually
TBB's configuration seems great and worth being stealed in T(A)ILS but
doesn't Torbutton already do this?

Firefox' so-called private browsing mode is documented here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3.1/PrivateBrowsing/SecurityReview
I am not sure how enabling this interacts with Torbutton.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.privacy_level
0 = Store extra session data for any site.
1 = Store extra session data for unencrypted (non-HTTPS) sites only. (Default)
2 = Never store extra session data.
Seems to me Torbutton already does this, doesn't it?
bye,
